Something a little different from Faringdon Darts Academy…
We very rarely share anything that isn’t directly related to darts, our juniors or the achievements of our Academy members.
But every now and then, something comes along that is much bigger than darts.
Today, one of our Academy mums, Claire Gerring, shared her incredible story — a story of an exceptionally rare and life-threatening cancer, an incredible 10-hour operation and having nine organs removed to save her life.
Claire is not just a mum of one of our juniors. She is part of our Academy family, and what she has been through is something that has touched all of us.
We are incredibly proud of Claire for sharing her story and helping to raise awareness of something so rare and so devastating.
So, for once, we’re putting the darts to one side.
Please take a moment to watch Claire’s story, show her some love and support, and help us share her message.
From everyone at Faringdon Darts Academy — we’re behind you, Claire.
Sometimes, some things are simply more important than darts.

Claire Gerring initially feared she had endometriosis, but in fact she had something much worse and life threatening - an exceptionally rare form of cancer.
