Carys is our beautiful, strong, honest, funny, and truly inspirational friend who in the midst of the first lockdown in 2020 was diagnosed with Stage 4 bowel cancer.

 

We are unbelievably proud of her positive mindset and her determination in continuing to live her life fully (in that way she is the same as ever!). Please see for yourselves in her blog Colon Lan.

It's so hard when someone close gets a cancer diagnosis, there's a desire to do something useful while never fully being able to comprehend what that person is going through. Sadly, it's something that a great many of us has experienced.

What we do know about is the importance of friendship and standing side by side no matter what life throws at us. We've a long history of support, laughter and love over a lifetime of friendship and this is stronger than ever as we support one of our best friends as she faces the big C head on.

So, we are on a mission to raise awareness for bowel cancer and to raise vital funds for 2 charities that are dear to Carys’ heart - Awyr Las based in North Wales, and St Davids Cancer Centre in South Wales, both of which provide local cancer care and rely on fundraising to continue their fantastic work.

We will be walking from Anglesey where we all grew up and met at school, to Bettws Newydd - where Carys now lives with her husband and 2 girls - o Fon I Fynwy.  A total of 144miles, we will be walking the first part virtually together by the 31st March, and will *hopefully* meet up in person to do the last 30 miles together. 


We'd be so grateful if you'd join us in supporting these important charities and doing our bit to kick cancer's butt.

Carys yw ein ffrind hardd, cryf, gonest, doniol a gwirioneddol ysbrydoledig a gafodd ddiagnosis o ganser y coluddyn Cam 4 yng nghanol y cyfnod clo cyntaf yn 2020.

Rydym yn anhygoel o falch o'i meddylfryd cadarnhaol a'r ffordd mae hi'n parhau i fyw ei bywyd yn llawn (yn y ffordd honno mae hi'r un peth ag erioed!). Cewch weld drosoch eich hun yn ei blog Colon Lan

Mae mor anodd pan fydd rhywun agos yn cael diagnosis o ganser, mae awydd i wneud rhywbeth defnyddiol heb fyth allu deall yn iawn beth mae'r person yna yn mynd drwyddo. Yn anffodus, mae'n rhywbeth y mae llawer iawn ohonom wedi'i brofi.

Yr hyn rydyn ni yn gwybod amdano yw pwysigrwydd cyfeillgarwch a sefyll ochr yn ochr beth bynnag mae bywyd yn ei daflu atom ni. Mae gennym hanes hir o gefnogaeth, chwerthin a chariad dros oes o gyfeillgarwch ac mae hyn yn gryfach nag erioed wrth i ni gefnogi un o'n ffrindiau gorau wrth iddi wynebu'r 'big C'. 

Felly, rydyn ni ar genhadaeth i godi ymwybyddiaeth o ganser y coluddyn ac i godi arian hanfodol ar gyfer dwy elusen sy'n annwyl i galon Carys - Mae Awyr Las wedi'i leoli yng Ngogledd Cymru, a Chanolfan Ganser Tyddewi yn Ne Cymru, a'r ddau ohonyn nhw'n darparu gofal canser lleol a'n dibynnu ar godi arian i barhau â'u gwaith gwych.

Byddwn yn cerdded o Ynys Môn lle cawsom i gyd ein magu a chyfarfod yn yr ysgol, i Bettws Newydd - lle mae Carys bellach yn byw gyda'i gŵr a dwy ferch - o Fon I Fynwy. Mae' n daith o 144 milltir, a byddwn yn cerdded y rhan gyntaf yn rhithwir gyda'n gilydd, gan * obeithio * cwrdd yn bersonol i gerdded y 30 milltir olaf gyda'n gilydd.

Byddem mor ddiolchgar pe byddech wedi ymuno â ni i gefnogi'r elusennau pwysig hyn a gwneud ein rhan tuag at roi gic tîn i ganser.
