Dutchman plays darts for 65 hours and twenty minutes to raise money for charity

Dutchman Frank Posthumus achieved the impressive feat of playing darts for almost three consecutive days to raise money for charity. Starting on Friday night at 7pm, the Assen-based player threw his final darts on Monday afternoon before enjoying a well-earned rest.

Posthumus stood at the oche for 65 hours and 20 minutes, easily surpassing the previous recorded world record of 60 hours. Apart from a five-minute break every hour, his time throwing over a grueling weekend was unbroken. He embarked on the record attempt to raise money for Stichting Ambulance Wens, a Dutch charity which helps make dreams a reality for people suffering terminal illnesses. The 37-year-old has raised 3,500 Euros towards his goal of 25,000 Euros, with donations still coming in. You can donate through .
