P.O.R.T. is delighted to be able to say that Chronic Intestinal Pseudo Obstruction is included as a condition on the 100,000 Genomes Project, which we hope will lead to finding the underlying cause of CIPO and hopefully lead to treatments. Here is some information about the project and what it may mean for patients with CIPO.
We’ve had some fantastic support recently! Here’s a little fundraising update and a look ahead to the rest of 2017 in terms of fundraising.
P.O.R.T. are now selling tote bags with our logo on, they cost £4 and 100% is donated to P.O.R.T.
We will soon also have shopping bags which will be £5.

In 2016, P.O.R.T. put out a research call with help from Bowel and Cancer Research, and we received three proposals. In November, the Bowel and Cancer Research Committee and P.O.R.T decided to proceed to the next stage with one research proposal. This has gone out to peer review, and if successful, P.O.R.T. will be funding another exciting piece of research.
