If you like your darts, you're stuck for something to do in Whitehaven on Saturday, or you just want to back a good cause for the lads, this one's for you.
The Encaps Online Darts League, the EODL, is doing a 12-hour darts marathon on Saturday 7 November at St Benedict's RUFC in Mirehouse. It's on from 9am to 9pm, and every penny goes to Prostate Cancer UK.
It's a West Cumbria league with more than 30 players from Sellafield and round about, playing across four leagues. They say it's as much about mates, mental health and looking after each other as it is about the darts. They've done their bit for the young 'uns too. One member's just put a full darts set-up into Distington Club so kids have somewhere to throw.
On the day there'll be competitions, challenges and a raffle. Local businesses and supporters have put up prizes like a dartboard, darts, vouchers for restaurants and shops, brewery bits and gym gear.
The organisers say it's close to home, because members have seen what cancer does to family and friends. They want the day to get folk thinking about prostate cancer, which hits thousands of men and their families every year. The league's motto says it all: "Throw Together, Stand Together".
What you can do Get yourself down to St Benedict's in Mirehouse any time between 9am and 9pm on Saturday, cheer them on, buy a few raffle tickets or stick something in the bucket. If you can't make it, you can give straight to Prostate Cancer UK on its website.
While you're there, Prostate Cancer UK has a free risk checker online that takes about 30 seconds. It's especially worth doing if you're over 50, you're Black, or your dad or brother has had it.
