• Photographer Rides for Charity! – Lincolnshire-based photographer Pete Norton welcomes sponsorship and support for his charity Humber-to-Severn solo cycle ride. It's in aid of kids charity, When You Wish Upon a Star. Pete will ride 230 miles for the kids, from the Hull side of the Humber Bridge to the Bristol end of the Severn Bridge. [expand story >>>]
When You Wish Upon a Star is a charity that fulfills wishes for under-16s with life-threatening or terminal illness. Pete became aware of the charity when he volunteered his services as photographer at one of the wish-fulfillment events, a snooker demonstration, where two children were taken to meet Jimmy White and John Virgo. Children's photography is a specialty of Pete's. One of the ways he markets himself is as "Little Devils", a kids photography service.
Joanne Kernon of When You Wish Upon a Star told us, "Pete's fundraising efforts will help to bring about some magic to a very special and brave child. For our children, many of whom have suffered more pain and harsh treatments than we could ever imagine, the need to make a dream come true is of the utmost importance. We are very grateful to Pete and Norton Photography for helping us with our ambition of never having to say 'no' to a deserving child."
Pete pedals off on 19 May, and stays in the saddle till 22 May. Watch out for him along the route!
