Singer-songwriter and broadcaster Bronwen Lewis becomes Maggie's Ambassador

We are delighted to share that Bronwen Lewis has agreed to become an ambassador for Maggie’s in Wales.

Bronwen has been part of the Maggie’s story for several years - as a fundraiser, performer, supporter and now, proudly, an ambassador.

Her personal connection to Maggie’s and her passion for supporting people affected by cancer make her a perfect fit for this role, and we are incredibly grateful to welcome her officially into the Maggie’s family.

Bronwen said:

“I am beyond humbled and honoured to become an ambassador for Maggie’s, a place I have been deeply inspired by, in awe of, and connected to for a number of years now.

My friendship with Maggie’s began in December 2020… Fast forward to March 2024 and my younger brother Ioan was sadly diagnosed with testicular cancer at 24 years old.

The support and welcome he received from Maggie’s Swansea was brilliant. He is now in remission and is so grateful for the love and care he received.

Maggie’s isn’t just a building, it’s a sense of belonging… As soon as you walk through the doors of Maggie’s you are home.

I will continue to work hand in hand with Maggie’s and lend my time, my voice, my platform and passion to Maggie’s as we grow what is already an incredible community of people doing good by others."

We look forward to working closely with Bronwen to help raise the profile of Maggie’s in Wales and shine a light on our vital work supporting people affected by cancer and their loved ones.

We cannot thank Bronwen enough for her continued support and we’re excited for what the year ahead will bring.

Rydym wrth ein bodd yn rhannu bod Bronwen Lewis wedi cytuno i fod yn llysgennad i Maggie's yng Nghymru.

Mae Bronwen wedi bod yn rhan o stori Maggie’s ers sawl blwyddyn - fel codwr arian, perfformiwr, cefnogwr a nawr, llysgennad balch.

Mae ei chysylltiad personol â Maggie's a'i hangerdd dros gefnogi pobl yr effeithir arnynt gan ganser yn ei gwneud hi'n berffaith ar gyfer y rôl hon, ac rydym yn hynod ddiolchgar o'i chroesawu'n swyddogol i deulu Maggie's.

Dywedodd Bronwen:

“Rwy’n teimlo’n hynod o ostyngedig ac yn anrhydeddus i ddod yn llysgennad i Maggie’s, elusen sydd wedi fy ysbrydoli’n ddwfn, y mae gen i gymaint o barch ati ac wedi bod yn gysylltiedig â hi ers nifer o flynyddoedd bellach.

Dechreuodd fy nghyfeillgarwch â Maggie’s ym mis Rhagfyr 2020…

Gan symud ymlaen i fis Mawrth 2024, cafodd fy mrawd iau, Ioan, ddiagnosis o ganser y ceilliau yn 24 oed… roedd y cymorth a'r croeso a gafodd gan Maggie's Abertawe yn wych… mae bellach mewn cyfnod o welliant ac mae mor ddiolchgar am y cariad a'r gofal a gafodd.

Nid adeilad yn unig yw Maggie's, mae'n ymdeimlad o berthyn… cyn gynted ag y byddwch chi'n cerdded trwy ddrysau Maggie's, rydych chi adref.

Byddaf yn parhau i weithio law yn llaw â Maggie's a… rhoi fy amser, fy llais, fy llwyfan a'm hangerdd i Maggie's wrth i ni dyfu'r hyn sydd eisoes yn gymuned anhygoel o bobl sy'n gwneud daioni i eraill."

Rydym yn edrych ymlaen at gydweithio'n agos â Bronwen i helpu codi proffil Maggie's yng Nghymru a thaflu goleuni ar ein gwaith hanfodol yn cefnogi pobl yr effeithir arnynt gan ganser a'u hanwyliaid.

Ni allwn ddiolch digon i Bronwen am ei chefnogaeth barhaus ac rydym yn gyffrous am yr hyn a ddaw yn y flwyddyn nesaf.
