Fallon Sherrock Makes History Again While Battling Kidney Disease and Earning a Million
Fallon Sherrock has made history once again as a World Darts Championship contender, with her remarkable journey poised to reach new heights at Ally Pally. The Milton Keynes-born thrower first captured the world’s attention in 2019, when she made history by defeating Ted Evetts and Mensur Suljovic to become the first female player to beat a man at the prestigious competition.
Since then, Sherrock has dazzled audiences at the Grand Slam and Premier League stages, hit a televised nine-darter—the first female to do so—and even received an MBE for her achievements. Her return to Alexandra Palace is set to be even more exciting, with Sherrock hoping to defeat a tough opponent in Ryan Meikle and then face off against rising star Luke Littler.
Fans are eager to see what’s next for the darts star, but away from the oche, Sherrock’s life has been filled with both triumphs and challenges. As she gears up for her upcoming showdown, here’s a look at her net worth, her relationship with fellow darts player Cameron Menzies, and her ongoing battle with kidney disease, according to the Mirror.
While Sherrock has earned £210,521 in career earnings according to the PDPA, her net worth has surpassed £1 million thanks to lucrative sponsorship deals following her success at Ally Pally, reported by Wales Online. Despite not yet winning a PDC ranking title, her financial success is impressive, with a fortune likely in the six figures due to sponsorships and her triumph in the Women’s World Matchplay.
Sherrock’s career achievements extend beyond prize money; she has been a major force in the WDF, reaching the BDO Women’s World Championship final in 2015. On the oche, Sherrock shares a strong relationship with darts player Cameron Menzies. The couple, who met through the Modus Super Series, have become known as darts’ power couple.
“Sometimes, we play each other, and the winner decides who does the dishes or if we get the Chinese… As you can see by my size, I usually win!” Menzies joked. Their relationship has helped both improve their darts games, with Menzies saying, “Being with Fallon has improved my darts tenfold.”
However, Sherrock has faced significant health challenges. Diagnosed with kidney disease almost a year ago, she has bravely opened up about her ongoing struggle. “My kidneys are only working to 23 percent of their capacity,” Sherrock shared.
“If it went down to 15 percent, you’re looking at dialysis. I’ve had to adjust my lifestyle to manage the illness, including taking medication and undergoing regular treatments.” Despite her health battles, Sherrock remains focused on her darts career, with a strong drive to keep competing at the highest level.
