Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Graeme " Podge" Porteous was a wonderful guy and a great friend of ours from school, Uni and many happy years thereafter. He was tragically killed in an avalanche last year leaving behind Alex, his lovely wife and 3 great kids, Olly, Charlotte and Josh. While we can never bring Podge back, we are trying to raise £50,000 in his memory for The Change Foundation. This is a wonderful charity that Podge was passionate about and which does amazing work helping under privileged kids through sport.

A gang of us are cycling from Edinburgh to London, arriving in the Olympic Stadium on what would have been Podge's 50th birthday, September 30. It's 450 miles in 5 days so a real challenge. At 50 we are the oldest guys doing the whole route so it's not going to be easy - but we have been training hard !

Please help us raise money to remember a wonderful guy who was taken from us far too early and to help a very worthy cause that was so close to his heart.

We are very aware that we all get inundated with requests such but please dig deep and no donation is too small. 

Many thanks

Troupy and Ack
