Taith Tractorau ar gyfer BreakthroughT1D Ebrill 12ed 2026

Am ddiwrnod I’w gofio! Syniad cafodd Richard ryw flwyddyn yn ol wedi ei wireddi ar y diwrnod yma. Fe ddaeth pobl o bod man-o Norfolk, ac o Ganolbarth Cymru hefyd, ynghyd a llawer oedd yn byw yn lleol. Cefnogaeth a charedigrwydd gwych. Rydyn ni dal yn methu credu y cyfraniadau sydd yn dal I ddod I mewn. Roedd ‘na linellau o bobl yn aros I barcio ac I gofrestru ac fe wnaeth y sawl wedd yn helpu I wneud hyn jobyn da I roi pawb a phopeth mewn trefn. Cofrestrwyd pawb ac mi gafodd y rhai a ddaeth a tractor cwpan I gofio am y diwrnod a thocyn cinio I ddweud diolch hefyd. Roedd pob pensen o arian y Cofrestru yn mynd I’r elusen. Prynodd y rhan fwya o bobl Raffl ac fe waneth yr arian ma wneud gwahaniaeth mawr I’r cyfanswm terfynol. Hoffem ddiolch yn fawr I’r ffrindiau, cymdogion a theulu a ddaeth I’n helpu ni ar y diwrnod. Hebddi nhw, bydde’r holl beth ddim wedi gallu digwydd. Diolch hefyd I Steve a’r tim-Linda, Eluned a Eileen ac wrth gwrs Byron am gadw ni gyd I fynd drwy’r dydd gyda’u bwyd blasus.

Croesawyd pawb gan Richard. Fe gafodd y dreifyrs eu cyfarwyddiadau am y Daith. Fe wnaeth e hefyd son am y rheswm pam wen ni wedi cynnal y diwrnod arbennig yma. O achos ein merch Cerian a chafodd ddiagnosis o Diabetes Teip 1 pan wedd hi yn 30 ryw flwyddyn a hanner nol pan wedd hi yn ffit ag iach. Wedd hi wastad yn gryf ei meddwl ond mae y Diabetes wedi ei gwneud hi yn gryfach. Mae hi yn cario mlan I fyw ai bywyd heb adel I’r Diabetes ei ddiffinio.

Roedd sawl deigryn I’w gweld yn y Sied ar ol I Richard orffen siarad. Gadawodd pawb yn ei Tractor tua 11.30yb yn y glaw! Diolch byth na wnaeth y glaw aros gyda ni yn hir. Roedd gweld gwynebau pawb yn gwylio 142 o dractoarau yn gadael y clos yn olygfa na newn I byth anghofio. Roedd gweld teuluoedd wedi dod a’u plant yn fendigedig, ynhyd a gweld menwod a dynion ifanc yn dreifo ei tractor ar y Daith. Andrew a wnaeth dywys y 142 o dractors o amgylch hewlydd bach lleol mewn tractor a oedd yn meddwl tipyn I Richard-sef hen dractor ei dad-y Case 1494. Ath ambell un ar gyfeiliorn! Ond fe ddethon nhw nol at ei gilydd yn go gloi! Falle taw uchafbwynt y Daith wedd yr olygfa o dop caeau Guto Blaenbowi o amgylch y Turbines anferth. Diolch iddo am adel I bawb werthfawrogi yr olygfa yma-sydd yn gallu bod o Gymru gyfan ar adegau clir. Cafwyd can o bop a bisgien a clonc ar dop y mynydd.

Tuag adref wedd nesa ar ol croesi yr hewl fawr cwpwl o weithie. Mwynhawyd byrger neu gyri gan bawb yn y Sied fawr ar ol cyrradd adre a chlonc o amgylch y fordydd. Cafwyd ddiod gan ambell un o’r bar ‘am ddim’ a chymdeithasu brwd! Fe ychwanegwyd I’r cyfanswm gan y rhai a wnaeth gyfraniadou at y diod hynny. Wedd e yn braf gweld gwynebau cyfarwydd ac anghyfarwydd yn cymdeithasu gyda’I gilydd. Fe ddaeth llawer iawn a’u tarctors ac fe ddaeth llawer heb eu tracrors I’n cefnogi. Ffrindie oes ac arbennig. Yn ola fe dynnnwyd y Raffl a chafodd sawl un y lwc o ennill gwobr a chafodd eu cyfrannu gan bobl caredig iawn. Diolch iddynt. ​Mi fyddwn bob amser yn browd iawn o’n unig Taith Tractorau. Ni all geirie byth gyfleu ein gwerthfawrogiad am y cefnogaeth mawr a welon ni ar y diwrnod arbennig ma. Diwrnod o brofi caredigrwydd, hapusrwydd a haelioni Cymuned Y Tractorau a Chymuned Diabetes yn dod at ei gilydd I wneud gwahaniaeth. DIOLCH O GALON. Hyd yn hyn rydych wedi codi £7400. Gwefreiddiol.

Tractor Run for BreakthroughT1D April 12th 2026

What a day! A thought that came to fruition a year after its conception. We never expected such support, kindness and generosity from people who came to see us locally and from as far afield as Norfolk/East coast, Mid Wales/Herefordshire Border. We were truly overwhelmed and humbled on the day and still are with donations still coming in. There were queues at some points, with the parking attendants doing a great job making sure that everyone was parked up properly. Registration went smoothly and all those who brought Tractors to go on the Run on the day were given mugs as a memento and a lunch token to say thankyou for joining us. Every penny of the registration fee went directly to the charity. Many people bought raffle tickets on the day too, which greatly boosted the coffers. We would like to thank all those who came to help us on the day. They were all friends, neighbours and family who gave of their time. Without them it wouldn’t have been possible. Thanks also to Steve and his team of Ladies who did so well in serving everyone some delicious food throughout the day. Thanks to Linda, Eluned a Eileen and of course Byron.

Richard welcomed everyone and gave the tractor drivers an indication of how everything would work on the Run and he also talked a bit about the reason for us all being there on the day. It all came about as our daughter Cerian at the age of 30 was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes about a year and a half ago. She was and still is fit and healthy. It was a shock to us all. But she carries on with life not letting it define her. She was always a strong character, but the diabetes has made her stronger. There were hardly any dry eyes in the shed after Richard finished speaking. Many on the day could relate to this, as many joined us who either had diabetes or had some family/ friend connection to it.

So after this everyone got into their tractors and left at about 11.30am, when we had a bit of a downpour. Luckily it didn’t last long and everyone was waved on their way by a crowd who lined the top of the yard. Quite a sight to see 142 tractors leave our yard. To see everyone’s faces beaming brought a lump to the throat. It was great to see families bringing their children and also to see young men and women driving their tractors on the Run. Andrew led the convoy in Richard’s dad’s old Case 1494. They all followed him, although some did go astray! But they were all soon reunited and roamed the small winding roads and hills which were very close to home. Mid-point roughly was a treat for the eyes. Guto Blaenbowi kindly let everyone make their way through his fields and park at the top where the mighty turbines are situated overlooking much of Wales on a clear day. Everyone enjoyed the view and a chat with a can of pop and a biscuit.

Then came a couple of main road crossings and finally the ‘Home Straight’. A burger or curry was then enjoyed by all back in the Shed , where everyone could sit and have a chat around the tables. Some indulged in our free bar, with those donations also adding to our grand total. It was just great to see familiar and unfamiliar faces socialising together. Many came with tractors and also many came without just to support us. True friends, customers and tractor dealers who have now become our friends too. Finally, the raffle was drawn and some had a lucky day ending up with a prize. We would like to thank all those who kindly donated to the raffle as that was a great success. We will always be very proud of our one and only Tractor Run. Words will never be able to express how much we appreciated the huge support that we received on the day in every way possible. A day of joy, kindness, closeness and generosity, where the tractor community and Diabetes community came together to make a difference. THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts. So far you have raised over £7400. Absolutely amazing.
