Fy enw i yw Mark Griffiths a dwi yn codi arian tuag at ddwy elusen
British Heart Foundation in Wales
Wales Air Ambulance
Dwi yn rhedeg 10K yng Nghaerdydd ar Fedi 3ydd 2023 er cof am ddau aelod annwyl iawn o'n teulu wnaeth golli eu bywydau yn annisgwyl ac yn gymharol ifanc i afiechyd y galon.
Ym mis Rhagfyr 2010, bu fawr fy nhad, y diweddar Owen Griffiths yn dilyn trawiad ar y galon. Yna yn fwy diweddar ym mis Awst 2022 bu farw fy ewythr Mr Eifion Davies yn dilyn truniaeth llawfeddyg calon agored. Fuodd Eifion fel ail tad i mi drwy gydol fy mywyd a bu'r teulu yn hynod ffodus iawn ohono.
Yn ddiweddor gyrraeddais garreg filltir yn 50 mlwydd oed a theimlais ei bod yn gyfle da i golli bach o bwyse, ymarfer dipyn mwy a codi arian i ddwy elusen arbennig. Fydde rhai ohonoch sydd yn fy adnabod yn gwybod fod y gair 'rhedeg' ddim yn fy ngeiriadur ac felly mae'n fwy o her i mi gwblhau'r 10K.
Os hoffech wneud rhodd, fydde hwnna'n gret, fe gwerthfawrogwyd yn fawr iawn a fydd yr achlysur yn un mwy arbennig i'r teulu a fi.
Diolch yn fawr am roi eich amser i ddarllen.
Hi, my name is Mark Griffiths and I am raising funds for two impactful charities;
British Heart Foundation in Wales
Wales Air Ambulance
I am running the Cardiff 10K on Sept 3rd 2023 in memory of two very dear members of our family who lost their lives unexpectedly at a relatively young age to heart disease.
My father, the late Owen Griffiths died of a severe heart attack in Dec 2010 and more recently my uncle, Mr Eifion Davies who passed away following open heart surgery in Aug 2022, both aged 62. Eifion was like a second father to my my whole life and the family were incredibly fortunate to have him.
I recently turned 50 years of age and thought it's about time I got off my back side to lose some weight, get fitter and try and raise some much needed funds for two very worthy charities. For anyone one that knows me, especially from school days they will know very well that my name and running should never appear in the same sentence, however here goes and I am really looking forward to.
If you would like to donate, it would be very much appreciated and would make the fund raising event even more special to my family and I.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this article.
