Rhys Jones Paris Marathon 2013 Pedal Power

Rhys Jones is raising money for Pedal Power
Donations cannot currently be made to this page

Paris Marathon 2013 · 15 April 2013

Pedal Power is one of the best accessible cycling centres in the UK. It is certainly the best in Wales. We provide a service that aims to make cycling accessible to all despite impairments. We have a wide range of range of cycles from trikes to four-wheelers that carry a wheelchair.

Story

I ran the Paris Marathon on 7th of April (my 30th birthday) in a PB time..

I have decided to raise money for Pedal Power (http://www.cardiffpedalpower.org) and Crohns & Colitis UK (http://www.nacc.org.uk).

I volunteered with Pedal Power at the beginning of the year, and saw first hand what a positive impact the work they do - making cycling accessible to all - has on those using the centre. They are also raising money for a new bike shed, so hopefuly your donations will help with that..

I am also raising money for Crohns & Colitis UK. Having suffered with the condition for most of my 20s I know how much of a pain in the arse it can be (at times, quite literally!). The condition has already claimed my colon, so the challange of completing a marathon provided an extra incentive - to show that the strength sapping lows  of the condition don't stop you from reaching the heights of physical endurance that a marathon requires. It also taught me that controlling the condition (mine at least) is best solved by lots of excercise rather than the use of anti-inflammotary drug infusions with such side effects as locked jaw and 5th limb! Hopefuly any money raised for research etc. will help me in the future (and others obviously!).

Rwyf wedi penderfynu codi arian i Pedal Power(http://www.cardiffpedalpower.org) a Crohns & Colitis UK (http://www.nacc.org.uk).

Dechreuais weithio'n wirfoddol dros Pedal Power ar ddechrau'r flwyddyn, a gweld a'm llygaid fy hun yr effaith bositif a gaiff y gwaith a wneir, yn gwneud hi'n bosib i bawb seiclo, ar y rhai sy'n defnyddio'r ganolfan. Maent hefyd yn codi arian ar gyfer sied feiciau newydd, felly gobeithio bydd eich cyfraniadau yn help i wneud hyn.

Rwyf i hefyd yn codi arian ar gyfer Crohns & Colitis UK. Wedi dioddef o'r cyflwr am y rhan fwyaf o'm 20au rwy'n gwybod faint o boen yn y pen ol y gall fod (ar adegau yn llythrenonol!). Mae'r cyflwr yn golygu fy mod wedi colli'r colon, felly roedd yr her o gwbwlhau marathon yn gymhelliad ychwanegol  - er mwyn dangos nad yw'r cyfnodau gwael o wendid yn eich rhwystro rhag llwyddo mewn camp sydd angen dycnwch corfforol megis marathon. Dysgais yn ogystal y gallaf reoli fy nghyflwr drwy ymarfer yn gyson. Gobeithio bydd yr arian a godir ar gyfer ymchwil o gymorth i mi ac eraill yn y dyfodol.

Mae cyfranu drwy Just Giving yn syml, yn gyflym ac yn gwbwl ddiogel. Bydd eich manylion yn ddiogel gyda Just Giving - ni fyddant yn eu gwerthu nac yn danfon e-byst diangen. Ar ol i chi gyfrannu, anfonir eich arian i'r elsusen ar unwaith. Dyma'r ffordd orau i gyfrannu - gan arbed amser ac arian i'r elusen.

Felly rhoddwch yn hael a chyfranwch nawr!
