TWO schoolboys will take on a costumed running challenge in support of Ukraine.
Ethan Schrecker and Noah Evans from Marlow will do a sponsored run of just over 13 miles for victims of the Russia-Ukraine conflict in seven-foot dinosaur costumes.
Both boys attend Sir William Borlase’s Grammar School, are 13, and are in Year 8.

They said they are “alarmed” by the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine and want “to do something to help young children like us”.
The pair have already smashed their £2,000 target, currently just short of £3,000 and now hope to raise £4,000 or more, said Ethan’s mum, Alison.
Noah and Ethan will start their run in Higginson Park in Marlow at 9:40am on Saturday, April 2.

“After only a month of training, we will be taking on this behemoth challenge: running 13.1 miles in seven-foot-tall inflatable dinosaur costumes,” Noah and Ethan.
“Although we both have experience in running, we’re taking it to the next level and hoping to have some fun, put some smiles on some faces and have a ‘roarsome’ time on the way.
“Thank you so much for your donations, share it with friends and don’t forget to say yes to Gift Aid as it won’t cost you anything and will save lives.”
