Story

CYMRAEG [English below]

Gwenlli a Rheinallt yn mynd Ar Grwydr i godi arian i Uned Alaw, Ysbyty Gwynedd.

Ym mis Mai 2024, yn 40 oed, ges i ddiagnosis canser y fron a dechrau ar bron i 18 mis o driniaeth: 6 mis o cemotherapi ac imiwnotherapi, mastectomi, 6 mis arall o cemotherapi (tabledi tro’ma), 3 wythnos o radiotherapi, ac ail mastectomi ym mis Hydref 2025.

Mi ges i ofal arbennig o dda gan staff y GIG: Nyrsus Gofal y Fron, Llawfeddyg, Oncolegwyr, a thîm anhygoel Uned Alaw yn Ysbyty Gwynedd, lejands bob un.

Mi gollais i fy iechyd bron iawn dros nos wrth ddechrau chemo. Pan oni’n teithio’n ôl a blaen drwy harddwch gwyllt a garw Eryri i gael triniaeth yn YG, oni’n ysu i gael bod yn ôl allan yn crwydro: ar y beic, ar ben mynydd neu mewn llyn oer.

Felly, dwi 'di bod yn gneud fy ngorau glas i wella a magu ffitrwydd er mwyn gallu mentro ar her i godi arian i Uned Alaw fel ffordd o ddeud “Diolch am achub fy mywyd i a nghael i’n ôl allan yn gneud fy hoff betha!”.

Yr her fydd: clamp o ddiwrnod allan Ar Grwydr yn Eryri yn gneud fy hoff betha! 28 milltir ar y beic. Cerdded dros yr Wyddfa. 5 dip dŵr oer + nofio 1km.

Mi fydd yn ddiwrnod hir a hegar, a dwi’n gobeithio y bydd o’n ddigon i’ch ysbrydoli chi i gyfrannu i Uned Alaw a helpu i wneud pethau chydig yn brafiach i gleifion a’u teuluoedd. Diolch yn fawr!

Bwriadwn fentro'r her ar 2/6/2026 (ond mae'na ddyddiad wrth gefn rhag ofn tywydd garw)

ENGLISH

A Big Day Out to raise vital funds for Uned Alaw, cancer treatment at Ysbyty Gwynedd.

In May 2024, at 40 years old, I was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer, and I embarked on almost 18 months of treatment: 6 months chemo and immunotherapy, a mastectomy, 6 more months of chemo (tablets this time), 3 weeks of radiotherapy, and a second mastectomy in October 2025.

I’ve received exceptional care from the NHS: the Breast Care Nurses, Surgeon, Oncologists, and the incredible team at the Alaw Unit in YG, they’re all amazing.

I lost my health almost overnight when I started chemo. During my journeys back and forth through rugged, beautiful Eryri for treatment at YG, I just felt desperate to get back out there: on my bike, up a mountain, or in a cold lake.

So, I’ve been working hard at recovering and building my fitness up to enable me to take on a fundraising challenge for Uned Alaw. It’s my way of saying “Thank you for saving my life and getting me back out doing my favourite things!”.

The challenge will be: a Big Day Out in Eryri, doing my favourite things! 28 miles on my bike. Walking up and down yr Wyddfa. 5 cold dips + a 1km swim.

It’ll be a long and challenging day, and I hope it’s enough to inspire you to make a donation to the Alaw Unit to help make things a little bit more comfortable for patients and their families. Diolch yn fawr!
