A Champion’s Journey Begins

Tom Wilson, affectionately known as 'Snoopy' in darts circles, transformed personal adversity into sporting philanthropy after two family members were diagnosed with prostate cancer. What began as a modest £10,000 target in 2016 has evolved into a six-figure fundraising phenomenon through 32 charity tournaments and 87 raffle events across Staffordshire.

The Power of Partnership

Wilson’s efforts gained legendary reinforcement when 16-time World Darts Champion Phil ‘The Power’ Taylor became an ambassador for the cause. "When Snoopy told me his vision, I knew we had to throw our weight behind it," Taylor stated during November’s ‘Bullseye Bonanza’ event that alone raised £8,200.

Overcoming Challenges, Inspiring Hope

Diagnosed with autism at 14, Wilson credits darts for providing focus: "The oche is my sanctuary. Every throw for charity gives me purpose." His unique ‘180 Challenge’ – donating £5 for every maximum score hit during tournaments – has become a fan-favorite element.

Next-Level Fundraising

With the £100k milestone achieved, Wilson is launching:

• Virtual Global Darts Marathon: 24-hour streaming event featuring pro players
• Legacy Auction Series: Signed memorabilia from Taylor, Michael van Gerwen, and Fallon Sherrock
• Community Oche Program: Teaching dementia patients therapeutic dart techniques

A Legacy in Motion

Prostate Cancer UK CEO Nicola Tallett praised: "Tom’s dedication shows how grassroots sports can drive real change." As Wilson prepares for December’s ‘Festive 500’ fundraiser, his message resonates: "Every dart thrown heals hearts while funding cures."
