Story
My nephew Charlie suffers from Chronic Intestinal Pseudo Obstruction. A disease that is so rare that PORT is the only charity which is raising funds to research this life debillatating disease that affects 1 in 541,000! And sadly as it is so rare it doesn‘t receive any goverment funding, so it is solely dependant on family and friends fundraising to bridge that gap.
For Charlie, in real terms, it means he has had to endure 30 operations, been on the transplant list, taken off of the list, has countless visits to the hospital. And on a more normal level he doesnt eat as most people do, instead he receives the majority of his dietary requirements via a milk based source which is given to him via a kind of drip throughout the night.
Charlie, like his Dad is a rugby nut & regularly watches Sale Sharks but sadly he will never be able to play rugby himself as he has a collostamy bag. Thankfully Charlie is a superstar who nevers lets his illmess get him down & truly embraces every opportunity he is given. And why shouldnt he?
I, as his Auntie would like to be able to help raise a few quid (a mere drop in the ocean really) to help get a little closer to the goal of understanding this disease so it can be more affectively treated & who knows... one day eradicated!
If you can donate a few quid all of us taking part and those at P.O.R.T would be eternally grateful.
With Love & wishes of good health,
Auntie Nat 😘

6 years agoSo we did it!!! All 9 of us completed the course with beaming smiles. It was hot, we got wet & the mum’s even had to endure ‘The bog of doom’ (A smelly, muddy stream we had to trudge through for about 200 metres🤢). Our target is to raise £300 for our efforts to be able to present to the Charity PORT at their Charity Ball at the end of this month. So please help us hit our goal by donating. Thanks so much Nat & Finley, Jo & Lewis, Simone & Kai, Dillon, Alfie & Charlie 😘😘😘
