👏 Wishing the Cardi Cranks the best of luck on their 529-mile tractor challenge across Wales!

The vintage car enthusiasts are driving two vintage tractors, Sion and Sian, all the way from Caernarfon to Cardiff, with one taking the inland route and the other the coastline. They're currently passing through Oswestry and have already raised nearly £25,000.

The final stop will be this Sunday, 28 June, at Cardiff Castle. It’s a family-friendly event with Stripe the dragon, the Lord Mayor, and a performance from Choirs For Good.

Pob lwc i’r Cardi Cranks ar eu taith 529 milltir o amgylch Cymru!

Mae’r atgyweiriwyr hen gerbydau yn gyrru dau dractor hen, Sion a Sian, o Gaernarfon i Gaerdydd, gydag un yn cymryd y llwybr trwy’r ffin a’r canolbarth a'r llall ar hyd y glannau. Maen nhw ar hyn o bryd yn mynd drwy Groesoswallt ac maen nhw eisoes wedi codi bron i £25,000.

Byddant yn cyrraedd pen y daith yng Nghastell Caerdydd ar ddydd Sul 28 Mehefin. Dewch draw i’w gweld a Streipen y Ddraig, yr Arglwydd Faer a Choirs for Good.

Diolch pawb!

When you donate to Cancer Research Wales, you can help develop kinder, more effective treatments such as for women facing gynaecological cancers, which have some of the lowest survival rates in the UK.

Last week, we announced a £2.86 million investment in 20 research projects across Wales, including a vital study at the University of South Wales led by Dr Sioned Owen.

Dr Owen's project is researching a natural-based medicine which is more effective and kinder on the patient than current treatments.

Wrth roi i Ymchwil Canser Cymru, gallwch helpu i ddatblygu triniaethau mwy caredig a mwy effeithiol, fel ar gyfer menywod sy'n wynebu canserau gynaecoleg, sydd â rhai o'r cyfraddau goroesi isaf yn y DU.

Yr wythnos diwethaf cyhoeddon ni fuddsoddiad o £2.86 miliwn mewn 20 o brosiectau ymchwil ledled Cymru, gan gynnwys astudiaeth ym Mhrifysgol De Cymru a arweinir gan Dr Sioned Owen.

Mae prosiect Dr Owen yn ymchwilio i feddyginiaeth naturiol , sy'n fwy effeithiol ac yn fwy caredig i'r claf na'r triniaethau presennol.

We know Father’s Day can bring a mix of emotions.

For some, it’s a time of celebration and gratitude. For others, it can be a painful reminder of someone deeply missed, or a day shaped by worry and uncertainty. For many, it’s also an opportunity to reflect on challenges overcome and look ahead to new chapters.

At Cancer Research Wales, our work is rooted here in Wales, supporting vital research that directly benefits people, families and communities across the country. Father’s Day is a powerful reminder of why that work matters.

Every day, we strive to bring us closer to a future where fewer families in Wales face the heartbreak of cancer, and where more precious moments with loved ones - dads, grandads and father figures - can be cherished for years to come.

If you’d like to honour someone special this Father’s Day while supporting life-saving research here in Wales, a tribute in their name can help make a real difference.

Gwyddom y gall Sul y Tadau fod yn ddiwrnod o emosiynau cymysg.

I rai, mae’n amser i ddathlu a diolchgarwch. I eraill, gall fod yn atgof poenus o rywun sydd wedi ein gadael, neu’n ddiwrnod o bryder ac ansicrwydd. I lawer, mae hefyd yn gyfle i ystyried yr heriau a orchfygwyd ac edrych ymlaen at ddyfodol newydd.

Mae gwreiddiau gwaith Ymchwil Canser Cymru, yma yng Nghymru, ac yn cefnogi ymchwil hanfodol sy’n dod â budd uniongyrchol i bobl, teuluoedd a chymunedau ledled y wlad. Mae Sul y Tadau yn atgof pwerus o pam mae’r gwaith hwnnw’n bwysig.

Rydym yn ceisio ein gorau bob dydd i’n symud yn agosach at ddyfodol lle mae llai o deuluoedd yng Nghymru yn wynebu tor calon canser, a lle gellir mwynhau mwy o eiliadau gwerthfawr gyda’r rhai rydym yn eu caru - tadau, teidiau a’r rheini sydd yn camu i’r adwy hynny - am flynyddoedd i ddod.

Os hoffech anrhydeddu rhywun arbennig ar Sul y Tadau hyn wrth gefnogi ymchwil sy’n achub bywydau yma yng Nghymru, gall anrheg er cof amdanynt helpu i wneud gwahaniaeth go iawn.

You can make a donation today to help fund our vital work and bring hope to families across Wales ⬇️

We'd like to say a big thank you to Darren Evans from Cwmaman near Aberdare in Rhondda Cynon Taf! The father of two and grandfather of two, has raised almost £6,000 for Cancer Research Wales.

Darren organised a rock gig in his hometown in April, and climbed the Welsh Three Peaks - Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), Cadair Idris and Pen y Fan - in May.

"I was joined on the climb by some incredible people. Ian Galbraith completed all three peaks, despite originally only committing to Cadair Idris, which was a huge achievement for him. Chris Haines took part in Snowdon and Pen y Fan, even though he'd only planned to do Snowdon - another brilliant effort. Richard Jones, bassist of the Stereophonics, joined us for the Pen y Fan climb."

Byddem yn hoffi dweud diolch mawr i Darren Evans, 52, o Gwmaman ger Aberdâr yn Rhondda Cynon Taf. Mae'r tad i ddau a thaid i ddau sydd wedi priodi â'i ffrind gorau – Ceri, wedi codi bron i £6,000 dros Ymchwil Canser Cymru.

Trefnodd Darren gig roc yng Nghwmaman ym mis Ebrill a dringodd y Tri Chopa Cymreig - Yr Wyddfa, Cadair Idris a Phen y Fan - ym mis Mai.

"Fe ddaeth pobl anhygoel gyda mi ar y daith - cwblhaodd Ian Galbraith y tri chopa, er iddo gyntaf ymrwymo i ddringo Cadair Idris yn unig, a oedd yn gyflawniad mawr iddo fo yn 67 oed. Dringodd Chris Haines Yr Wyddfa a Phen y Fan, er mai ei fwriad gwreiddiol oedd dringo'r Wyddfa, ond fe'n llwyddom i'w berswadio i newid ei feddwl - ymdrech wych arall. Ymunodd Richard Jones, chwaraewr gitâr fâs y Stereophonics, â ni i ddringo Pen y Fan."

Da iawn pawb! 👏

"There was something incredibly powerful about being with people who truly got it. The fears, the side-effects, the dark humour, the small victories. Together we found comfort, courage and laughter in the middle of it all."

Four Anglesey women who became close friends when they were being treated for cancer have raised £7,010 for Cancer Research Wales.

Over the last 18 months, Catrin, Julie, Siobhan and Kathy were all diagnosed and treated for cancer and faced surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

On top of that, they all faced the emotional toll that comes with a life-changing cancer diagnosis.

But in April, the determined four put their best foot forwards and trekked 18 miles from the Conwy Bridge to Menai Bridge outside Bangor.

They were joined on the journey by their friends and family who cheered them on and kept their spirits high.

"Roedd rhywbeth yn anhygoel o bwerus am fod gyda phobl sydd wir yn deall. Yr ofnau, y sgil-effeithiau, yr hiwmor tywyll, y buddugoliaethau bach. Gyda'n gilydd fe gawsom gysur, gwelsom ddewrder a cawsom chwerthin yng nghanol y cyfan."

Mae pedair gwraig o Ynys Môn a ddaeth yn ffrindiau agos wrth iddynt gael eu trin am ganser wedi codi £7,010 ar gyfer Ymchwil Canser Cymru.

Yn ystod y 18 mis diwethaf, cafodd Catrin, Julie, Siobhan a Kathy i gyd ddiagnosis a thriniaeth am ganser ac wynebu llawdriniaeth, cemotherapi, a radiotherapi.

Yn ogystal a hynny, wynebodd pob un ohonynt y straen emosiynol sy'n dod gyda diagnosis o ganser sy'n newid bywyd.

Ond ym mis Ebrill, penderfynodd y pedair droi eu sylw at gerdded 18 milltir o Bont Conwy i Bont Menai y tu allan i Fangor.
