Brothers Leo Collins and Luca Collins, aged seven and five respectively, are taking on a remarkable challenge during their summer holidays. Every day in August, they are cycling and walking over a mile to raise money for Young Lives VS Cancer, a charity that supports children and young people (0-25) and their families affected by cancer.
