P.O.R.T. Trustee Kilian Fitzsimmons-Wilson organised a charity golf day, which raised a fantastic £6,250 for P.O.R.T. A great day was had by all.

P.O.R.T Trustee Ian Frost and friends and colleagues cycled from London to Amsterdam, covering 100 miles a day over 4 days. The weather was hot, the last day being 36 degrees, and they succeeded, getting to Amsterdam safely and raising a fantastic approximately £7,000 for P.O.R.T.

The Hilton Edinburg Carlton are now supPORTing P.O.R.T. We are their chosen charity for this year, a partnership we are delighted to have. We hope the partnership between ourselves and the Hilton Edinburgh will lead to more awareness and fundraising to allow us to continue funding our vital research.

Ford Dagenham have chosen P.O.R.T as one of their charities of the year. Recently they held a Diversity Day where P.O.R.T was in attendance to raise awareness and they raised money for us through the Diversity Day as well as the proceeds of a Soccer Saturday Football donated by Scott Minto. The combination of these raised a fantastic £861.04 for P.O.R.T and we are excited to see what the future holds in our partnership with Ford Dagenham.  

P.O.R.T is funding a new research project, called EVASION-CIPO, investigating whether transcutaneous and physiological Vagal Nerve Stimulation is beneficial to patients with CIPO.

Rakesh Patel and Paul Waldock, our wonderful London Marathon runners for 2017, raised more than £7,000 for P.O.R.T. We were very lucky to get a silver bond place, which Rakesh agreed to fulfil and run for us and Paul had applied for a place and chosen to run for P.O.R.T.
