About P.O.R.T.

Welcome to the Pseudo Obstruction Research Trust (P.O.R.T.) Website. P.O.R.T. was formed in February 2006 by two families who have children who have died from Chronic Intestinal Pseudo-obstruction (C.I.P.O.) or are still suffering from this illness.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

P.O.R.T. always needs support and people to fundraise, so if you or your friends/family fancy raising some money, doing a sponsored challenge, organising an event, doing a cake sale, coffee morning or similar, asking your local shop if they’ll put a collection tin on their counter or supporting us by making a donation, then this will be greatly appreciated.
