TWO Isle of Wight boys are set to climb mount Snowdon later this year – to raise money for their kickboxing club.

On Saturday, August 24, Ethan and Kobi King are taking on the huge challenge in a bid to raise funds for IOW Panthers.

Both boys joined the club at six years old, and Ethan, now 12, has his green belt, while Kobi, aged nine, has his yellow belt.

The siblings' mother, Danielle, says kickboxing has given the boys structure, self-confidence and a community where they belong.

They are both neurodiverse and want to give back to their club as an appreciation for the support and positive impact it has had on them.

Their coach, Dom, says the money will go straight into the club and will help pay for new equipment.

It will also potentially help with members’ kickboxing tournament travel costs if enough money is raised.
