Step up to the oche. Take on the Day of Darts.

Gather your mates, head to the dartboard and take on your very own 12-hour continuous darts marathon to help save men's lives.

Whether you're playing at home, in the pub, at your local darts club or in the workplace, Day of Darts is all about bringing people together for a challenge with real purpose. Chase 180s, celebrate the bullseyes and make every dart count. This really is a challenge worthy of a walk on song!

By taking part in Day of Darts, you'll be throwing for the thousands of dads, brothers, grandads, partners and mates affected by prostate cancer every year. With no early warning signs and no national screening programme, too many men find out they have prostate cancer too late. It shouldn't be this way. Every hour you play and every pound you raise will help fund vital research into earlier diagnosis and better treatments, helping to save men's lives.
