Biker braves the rain for charity
You have to have a good reason to go biking in weather like this - but that is certainly the case for Peter Thompson who is braving all kinds of foul elements in a charitable quest.
Peter, 44, of Ormskirk Road, Pemberton, is in training for a karate challenge he is organising in aid of Rainbow House.
This specialist centre in Mawdesley looks after his six-year-old son
Paul, who suffers from cerebral palsy.
Besides sponsors Peter is trying to enlist fellow martial arts experts who will repeatedly perform the 'kata' – a karate warming-up exercise.
As part of his training for the March event Peter was out cycling in Billinge yesterday when he was soaked by a drain gushing water 20ft into the air.
To sponsor Peter visit the website www.kata4kids.org
