Champ chips in to help Mexborough charity night

The 62-year-old Mexborough-born darts star, who suffered his own battle with prostate cancer, was inspired to take part in the event after organiser Grant Harris told him about the fund-raiser he was planning in memory of four family members.

Grant, of Swinton, has lost his grandmother, two aunts and a cousin to cancer in the past 18 months and was determined to help Cancer Research UK in its battle to find a cure for the disease.

His event at Pastures Lodge, Mexborough, on March 2, will include a renowned Scottish comedy hypnotist George Wood, music from Elvis impersonator Ivan Wigley and a pie and pea supper.

Tickets £12 and can be bought from Pastures Lodge, the Mexborough Spiritualist Church or direct from Grant by calling him on 07951 487768.
