Two years ago I took part in the Team Irfon castle to castle swim. From a very young age i have spent time on Alaw Unit waiting for my mother or visiting and talking to patients and the involvement with the fundraising was very close to my heart. Since then i have seen first-hand how special the Alaw Unit Staff are when my partner Geth received life saving chemotherapy treatment for Testicular Cancer. The staff work hard and are so dedicated to providing the best possible care for their patients. Through the course of his treatment Geth and I came to understand why Irfon felt so passionate about giving something back and his reasons for setting up Tîm Irfon. The donations received by Awyr Lâs Tîm Irfon helps to provide the extra provisions that the underfunded NHS is not able to do - we loved the lovely tea and coffe machine on the chemotherapy unit. I would be very grateful for any donation by sponsoring me for this year’s pier to pier swim on September the 7th. Thank you and thank you all the staff on Alaw Unit. 

Dwy flynedd yn ôl cymerais ran yn nofio o gastell i gastell tuag at elusen Awyr Las Tîm Irfon. O oedran ifanc iawn rwyf wedi treulio amser yn Uned Alaw yn aros am fy mam neu’n ymweld â chleifion ac yn siarad â nhw, ac roedd fy ymwneud â’r codi arian yn agos iawn at fy nghalon. Ers hynny rwyf wedi gweld hefo llygad fy hun pa mor arbennig yw Staff Uned Alaw pan dderbyniodd fy mhartner Geth driniaeth cemotherapi. Mae’r staff yn gweithio yn galed ac yn mor ymroddedig i ddarparu’r driniaeth a’r gofal gorau posibl i’w cleifion. Trwy gydol ei driniaeth daeth Geth a minnau i ddeall pam roedd Irfon yn teimlo mor angerddol am roi rhywbeth yn ôl a’i resymau dros sefydlu Tîm Irfon. Mae’r rhoddion a dderbyniwyd gan Tîm Irfon yn helpu hefo darpatiarth ychwanegolvnad yw’r GIG yn gallu eu gwneud - roeddem wrth ein bodd â’r peiriant te a choffi hyfryd yn yr uned cemotherapi! Byddaf yn ddiolchgar iawn am unrhyw rodd trwy fy noddi ar gyfer nofio pier i bier eleni ar Fedi’r 7fed. Diolch i chi a diolch i holl staff ar Uned Alaw.
