Thame schoolboy Chris Wilcox is planning to visit five capital cities in two days to raise £5,000 for children living on the streets of Latin America.

Chris, 12, a pupil at Lord Williams's School, Thame, will spend next weekend travelling with his dad Steve on his motorbike to London, Cardiff, Dublin, Belfast and Edinburgh.

The pair hope to raise £5,000 for a charity called Toybox, which is trying to provide a school for street children. To sponsor Chris and Steve, call 01844 215442.
