Charlie Corstophine (Simon O'Connor, PDC)

PDC referee Charlie Corstorphine has been undertaking a charity challenge alongside his duties at the BoyleSports World Grand Prix this week.

Corstorphine is fundraising for Prostate Cancer UK by participating in October's Prostate United Challenge, inspired by his grandfather's battle against the disease.

The referee has to run 200 miles throughout October and is already halfway towards the target - while he has raised over £800 for the charity.

Prostate Cancer UK was the official charity partner of the 2023/24 Paddy Power World Darts Championship, with a £1 million donation being made by Paddy Power following THE BIG 180 campaign.

Were you affected by THE BIG 180 campaign?

Over 136,000 men completed the Prostate Cancer UK risk-checker during the campaign. As a result, nearly 100,000 men found out they were at high risk of prostate cancer.

These are darts fans who wouldn’t have known otherwise. Were you one of them?

We’re looking for men who took the risk checker and as a result found out they had prostate cancer. If that was you we hope you found it early enough, and are doing well. Would you share your story with us? 

Early diagnosis is the key to surviving prostate cancer. But with no screening programme, men have to ask for a blood test. 

Hearing stories from others can help many men take action around their own risk. 

Just email us below with your contact details and we’ll get back to you to get your story, you could help us save more lives.

About Prostate Cancer
1 in 8 men will get prostate cancer, and your risk is higher if you're over 50, black, or have a family history of the disease. It's the most common cancer in men and kills over 12000 brothers, dads, granddads every year.

It doesn't need to be this way. Men do not need to die of disease.

The earlier prostate cancer is diagnosed the easier it is to treat, but with no UK screening programme it’s vital that men understand their risk.
