Fundraisers aim high in crash victim’s memory

Fundraisers aim high in crash victim’s memory

A charity darts match was played at the top of Ben Nevis on Saturday in memory of a darts star who died in a car crash earlier this year.

Father-of-four Bryan Whyte had been due to get married last month and was on the verge of his Scotland debut after being called up to the national set-up.

But the 34-year-old, of Spean Bridge in Lochaber, was killed on February 28 when his car collided with a pick-up truck on the A82 Inverness to Fort William road.

Bryan and his brother, James, 31, also a keen darts player, had planned to hold the charity match to raise funds for the combined assessment unit at Belford Hospital, where their late father had been cared for.

After his brother died, James decided to continue with their plan, but opted to split the proceeds between the unit and the Lochaber Phoenix Boxing Club in Fort William, where Bryan’s son, Scottish champion Cameron, is a member.

On Saturday, James was joined by 12-year-old Cameron, Bryan’s fiance Dawn Gordon and her brother Michael, and friend Barrie MacKinnon.

The group braved gale-force winds to climb and play the match, where James played against – and beat – Mr Gordon.

He said: “It was originally just myself and my brother. I thought I would carry on and do it anyway.

“It has been quite overwhelming, the amount we have raised. I don’t know how much we have, but I was hoping to raise £2,000 so I could give them £1,000 each and we are on course to do that. I know what the boxing club meant to him, and his boy.

“Since Bryan died they have been brilliant with Cameron. I thought Bryan would want to do something for them to give something back.”

Back at home, James recently followed in his brother’s footsteps to win a local darts competition and get his name on the Neil Kerr Memorial Trophy.

James said: “Bryan won the trophy in 2012 and 2013 and I won it three weeks ago in 2014. My name is on the cup beside his. He would be happy about that.”
