Arbennig Gareth! Ysbrydoliaeth i bawb⚽✨
Gareth is an inspiration to everyone⚽✨
⚽❤️ Heddiw, dwi am rannu stori ysbrydoledig un o fy etholwyr arbennig, Gareth Jones o’r Felinheli.
Ym mis Mehefin 2022, cafodd bywyd Gareth, plymar a thad i bump, ei droi ben i waered dros nos. Ar ôl dioddef ers wythnosau o ddiffyg anadl, cafodd Gareth ei daro’n ddifrifol wael. Roedd ei galon yn gweithio ar gapasiti o 10%, ac roedd angen trawsblaniad arno ar frys. Yn ffodus, daeth calon gan roddwr ar gael y diwrnod ar ôl iddo gael ei roi ar y rhestr aros. Ar ôl gwella, gweithiodd Gareth yn galed i adennill ei ffitrwydd ac ymunodd â Thîm Pêl-droed Trawsblaniad Cymru, gan deithio’n rheolaidd i dde Cymru i hyfforddi. Ar ôl cystadlu yng Nghwpan y Byd yn yr Eidal yn 2024, llwyddodd Gareth a’i gyd-chwaraewyr i ddod yn bedwerydd drwy’r byd yn yr Almaen eleni! Am gamp.
Diolch yn fawr iawn i deulu Gareth am dynnu fy sylw at ei stori ryfeddol.
⚽❤️ Today, I want to share the inspiring story of one of my fantastic constituents, Gareth Jones from Y Felinheli.
In June 2022, Gareth’s life changed overnight. A plumber and dad of five, he suddenly became seriously ill after weeks of struggling with breathlessness. His heart was working at just 10% capacity, and he urgently needed a transplant. Thankfully, a donor heart became available the day after he was placed on the waiting list. After his recovery, Gareth worked hard to regain his fitness and joined the Wales Transplant Football Team, travelling regularly to south Wales to train. After competing in the World Cup in Italy in 2024, Gareth and his teammates finished fourth in the world in Germany this year! An incredible achievement.
Thanks to Gareth’s family for bringing his amazing story to my attention. His determination is inspiring.
