Below are a few words from Arthur about why he has decided to set up an annual charity fishing contest:

'Hi my name is Arthur James Norton, I live with my partner Diane who i have been with 14 years and  we live in Leeds, West Yorkshire.  We had a son who we called Gerald after my dad who is also called  Gerald, sadly we lost Gerald who died at 7 weeks old.  He died of hypo-plastic left heart syndrome, where we have 4 heart chambers he had 3 heart chambers, he never left hospital.  Diane got close to Gerald, I did not get close to Gerald as I know he was not going to live long and I will always regret it for the rest of my life.  So I decided to start AFH (angling for hearts) in memory of our son.'
