Our Charity

We are raising money for the Perthes Association.

Perthes disease is a potentially crippling disease of the hip which affects children (mainly boys) between the ages of 2 and 15 years. In Perthes disease the blood supply to the growth plate of the bone at the end of the femur (the ball and socket joint of the hip) becomes inadequate. As a result the bone softens and breaks down.

We have chosen this charity as my son, Max, was a Perthes sufferer and spent over 18 months in a wheelchair.

Team Colours

A sizable parcel turned up this week from the Perthes Association. In it they sent us poloshirts, caps and jackets for us to wear on the event.
Here is a picture of us (in a rather Littlewoods catalogue type pose) sporting the new Team Pontikak uniform.


A big thankyou to Lisa at the Perthes Association for sending us these. She also sent us a large quantity of car stickers, balloons, enamel badges and info. We will use these to extract even more money out of the general public (for the charity) at the events we attend.
