Story

Hello!

In March 2016 we will be heading out to Nepal to trek the biggest challenge of our lives - up to Everest Base Camp! Reaching a height of 5,364m, the trek will last over a course of 14 days and will require plenty of training beforehand, practise hikes up Snowdon and definitely less junk food!

The charity we’ve chosen to donate to is Epilepsy Research UK, they are the only national charity that is dedicated to funding independent scientific research into epilepsy in the UK. In May 2013, our brother Dafydd passed away to SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy) at the age of 25, therefore we're doing this trek in his memory and in hope we can raise money to help fund our chosen charity with their fantastic research.

Our aim is to raise a target of £5000 between us, if you have a spare £1 or two we would be incredibly grateful for any donations given! Every penny donated will 100% go to Epilepsy Research, as this trip is completely self funded.

Thank you very much!

Helo!

Yn Mawrth 2016, byddwn yn hedfan allan i Nepal i Base Camp mynydd mwyaf y byd, Everest! Yn cyrraedd uchder o 5,364m, fydd yr taith yn parhau drost 14 diwrnod, ac fydd angen digon o deithiau cerdded i fyny’r Wyddfa, ac yn bendant llai o fyta fwyd sothach!

Yr elusen 'da ni 'di dewis i roi tuag at ydi Epilepsy Research UK, nhw ydi’r unig elusen genedlaethol sydd bwrpasol yn ariannu ymchwil gwyddonol annibynnol i epilepsy yn yr UK. Yn Mai 2013, gollodd ein brawd Dafydd ei fywyd i SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy) yn 25 oed. Felly rydym yn ‘neud yr daith yma er cof Dafs, ac mewn gobaith fyddwn yn hel digon o bres tuag at ERUK i helpu gyda’u ymchwiliadau.

Ein nod ydi i godi £5000, felly os ‘da chi efo £1 neu ddwy yn sbar, fysa ni'n fwy na ddiolchgar i unrhyw rhodd! Fydd bob ceiniog yn 100% yn mynd i Epilepsy Research, mae gost yr taith yn dwad o pocedi ein hunain.

Diolch yn fawr!
