A Llanuwchllyn man who died of cancer at 33 will be honoured by his sister when she takes part in a charity bike ride.

Catrin Jones, who lives in Ruthin, will take part in Sir Chris Hoy's Tour de 4 in Glasgow, cycling 56 miles in memory of her brother Huw, who died of a rare bile duct cancer in February. He was just 33 years old.

Huw was diagnosed with stage 4 cholangiocarcinoma while his wife Cadi was pregnant with their son Idris and spent his final months campaigning for the drug Zanidatamab - which extended his life - to be made available on the NHS. It was approved by NICE in May.

Catrin, who says she had never cycled competitively before taking on the challenge, will cycle 56 miles on 6 September for AMMF, the UK's only charity dedicated to fighting the disease.

Huw lived in Llanuwchllyn with his wife Cadi. He and his father, Gareth, took on a cycling challenge for the same cause last year, before Huw's health declined.

Catrin’s fundraising page has attracted donations of over £750 so far. She hopes to raise £1,000.

Explaining more about her fundraising challenge, Catrin said: “I am raising vital funds for AMMF in memory of my amazing little brother Huw.

“Huw and Dad did this ride last year, despite Huw been told in September the year before there was no hope of him even meeting Idris in January.

“The event is about showing that a diagnosis does not define a person, and highlighting what life with Stage 4 cancer can look like: strength, resilience and determination- which Huw had in abundance! If only we all had half of the strength and determination he had.

“I am raising money for AMMF, a cause incredibly close to my heart. AMMF is the UK's only charity dedicated exclusively to fighting cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer).

“This charity supported us through the most difficult time of our lives and is passionate about changing outcomes for patients with cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) something Huw was also passionate about. They helped us find out when his juice (zanidatamab) arrived in the UK ahead of his first infusion.

“CCA is a rare cancer and notoriously difficult to diagnose early. AMMF works tirelessly to change this by funding specialized research teams, spreading awareness, and providing vital patient resources.”

Catrin added: “I am no cyclist and before this the longest I’d cycled was around the wineries in New Zealand! This will be a huge challenge for me but I’m sure Huw has been enjoying watching me contend with cleats, bike seats and hills!

“If you’re able to donate or share, I’d be incredibly grateful. Every contribution helps provide vital support and care. Every donation makes a massive difference.

“Thank you so much for all the amazing support throughout this incredibly difficult time.”
