Two 12-year-old boys have set up a GoFundMe page at: tinyurl.com/SignalBoxFund where more than £5,000 has been pledged.

Harry and Oliver will walk the path alongside the Nene Valley Railway line from Peterborough city centre to Wansford on April 6.

On their fundraising page it says: "There are clearly some selfish people in our community. Harry and Oliver want to show that there’s plenty of kindness too."
