Brian Hearn, lakeside to Bridlington
When my Pal Brian Hearn contacted me in May to say he was going to walk from Lakeside Country Club to the Spa in Bridlington for Heart of Darts (Reg Charity 1100678), I thought he was mad! Then I thought, this is Brian Hearn, he's deadly serious. Well Brian set off from Lakeside on the 18th of August and he will be arriving early into Bridlington this Thursday after walking 750 KMs! As he was ahead of schedule he messaged me last week to enter him in the British Classic and Open, could this be the longest a man has walked for a game of darts? I asked what the highs and lows were and he said bar losing a couple of toe nails there have been no lows. As for highs, there have been loads, mainly the wonderful people he has met along the way that have offered a meal, a shower or a bed for the night and of course the donations that he has received to date and continues to collect. Brian so far has raised almost £2,000 and would love to get over that amount, so if you see him at Bridlington do please make a donation no matter how small, all money raised will be used by Heart of Darts to help a young child suffering with Cerebral Palsy.Article kindly supplied by Paul Brown Heart of Darts Ambassador Heart of Darts Website

The survey covered four age categories ranging from18 to 54 years of age After this assessment Portland Communications issued the following statement: “Darts is perceived to have the highest overall level of integrity of the top 12 professional sports in the UK due to the perceived likelihood of players using performance enhancing drugs or the sport being involved in cover ups and scandals” The BDO and all Darts bodies in the UK together their players should be deservedly proud of such an accolade that serves to prove what we have known all along ‘Darts people are the nicest people!!!
