Story

<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">English:</span></strong>The opportunity&nbsp;to raise money for the Velindre Cancer centre by walking along the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu in Peru, was one too good to miss, especially as both my parents and my father in law have received treatment there</span>.</span></p> <p>I`m also ``celebrating`` 20 years of presenting the weather on S4C this year and to go on such an adventure seemed like a perfect way to celebrate. Unfortunately, it has not been possible to produce a programme about the&nbsp;walk or the 20 years, but I hope&nbsp;by publishing a book&nbsp;in the near future and getting as much&nbsp;press as possible, the Cancer centre will benefit.</p> <p>It`s the altitude and the sickness that are my greatest concerns, although having said that, my mother in law is also going with me!!</p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">CYMRAEG</span></strong>: Roedd y cyfle i godi arian i&nbsp;ganolfan cancr Velindre wrth&nbsp;gerdded ar hyd yr Inca Trail i Machu Picchu ym Mheru, yn gyfle rhy dda i`w golli, oherwydd&nbsp;mae fy nhad a fy mam, yn ogystal a fy nhad yng nghyfraith, wedi derbyn gwasanaeth heb ei ail&nbsp;yna.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Dwi hefyd yn ``dathlu`` 20 blynedd o gyflwyno`r tywydd ar S4C eleni a roedd ymgymryd a`r fath antur yn swnio fel ffordd berffaith o nodi`r ugeinfed! Yn anffodus, ni fydd modd cynhyrchu rhaglen am y daith na`r 20 blynedd, ond dwi`n gobeithio trwy gyhoeddi llyfr yn y dyfodol agos yn ogystal a chael&nbsp;hybsys a chyhoeddusrwydd, fydd y Ganolfan gancr yn medru elwa.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Yr uchder a`r salwch fydd y problemau mwyaf dwi`n meddwl; er wedi dweud hynny, mae fy mam yng nghyfriath yn mynd gyda fi ar y daith!!</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;"> <p>Thank you very much. Diolch yn fawr</p> <p>&nbsp;CHRIS JONES</p> </span></p>
