Marcus Davies is\u00a0a Vilitilgo sufferer from Aberdare who is still running after completing the London Marathon & Swansea Half Marathon earlier this year\u00a0to raise valuable funds for research in to skin disease. Marcus wants to raise awareness of his condition\u00a0and hopes to send out a message that’s it’s ok to be different, it’s what’s inside that counts. <\/span><\/p>\n

Kelly Morgan is a public health researcher at Cardiff University, specialising in multiple areas including child obesity prevention and the promotion of physical activity.\u00a0She has\u00a0chosen Skin Care Cymru as\u00a0her charity for the Cardiff Half Marathon 2015 in memory of\u00a0her Uncle, Brian Eadon, who\u00a0she lost to Skin Cancer 4 years ago. She believes the work Skin Care Cymru carries out is invaluable to individuals like\u00a0her uncle, heightening the awareness of skin conditions which could be preventable. Kelly says ”\u00a0I\u2019m very excited to wear the Skin Care Cymru vest amongst the thousands of runners in our city and raise funds to help make a difference.”<\/p>\n

Lloyd Evans is our 3rd runner and this is what he had to say –<\/p>\n

“I work as a Welsh translator for Swansea Council. I\u2019ve run 10k several times over the past few years and more experienced runners than me have suggested I should try a half marathon. So here I am, finally attempting this distance for the first time (and quite possibly the last). I\u2019ve chosen to raise money for Skin Care Cymru to raise awareness of this great charity and the good work it does throughout the year to prevent and treat skin related conditions and help those in Wales suffering from skin disease and skin cancer etc.<\/p>\n

Dw i\u2019n gweithio fel cyfieithydd Cymraeg i Gyngor Abertawe. Dw i wedi rhedeg 10k sawl gwaith dros y blynyddoedd diwethaf ac mae rhedwyr mwy profiadol na fi wedi awgrymu y dylwn i roi cynnig ar hanner marathon. Felly dyma fi, o\u2019r diwedd yn rhoi cynnig ar y pellter yma am y tro cyntaf (ac yn ddigon posibl yr olaf). Dw i wedi dewis codi arian dros Skin Care Cymru i godi ymwybyddiaeth o\u2019r elusen wych hon a\u2019r gwaith da mae\u2019n ei wneud trwy gydol y flwyddyn i atal a thrin cyflyrau sy\u2019n ymwneud \u00e2 chroen a helpu pobl yng Nghymru sy\u2019n dioddef o glefyd y croen a chanser y croen ac ati.”<\/p>\n
