Cyn-Fyfyriwr Peirianneg yn Gyntaf yn y DU i Gyflawni Her Codi Arian Triphlyg 'Everesting'!

Mae cyn-Fyfyriwr Peirianneg Coleg Menai wedi dod y person cyntaf yn y DU i gwblhau her Driphlyg Everest (Triple Everesting) ar feic.

Astudiodd Jac Lewis, o Benygroes ger Caernarfon, Beirianneg yng Ngholeg Menai yn 2014, wrth gwblhau rhaglen Brentisiaeth tair blynedd yn Wylfa ar Ynys Môn.

Ers cwblhau'r Brentisiaeth, mae Jac bellach yn gweithio fel Peiriannydd Proses ar gyfer Unilever yng Nghilgwri.

Cwblhaodd Jac yr her anodd dros benwythnos y Pasg, lle cychwynnodd am 6:00 fore Gwener, o waelod Llyn Marchlyn Mawr, hyd at yr argae. Cwblhaodd 101 lap, ac i gyd, roedd yr her dros 360 milltir o hyd, a dros 87,000 troedfedd o daldra!

Dywedodd Jac, "Diolch i bawb sydd wedi rhoi hyd yma i'r achos teilwng yma. Roeddwn i eisiau codi arian ar gyfer Alzheimer's Society, gan fod y clefyd wedi effeithio ar fy nheulu a theulu fy nyweddi. "

"Hoffwn ddiolch i fy ffrind Callum Dixon, a gwblhaodd un hyd Everest ochr yn ochr â mi, yn ogystal â Ross Howcroft-Jones, Aiden O'leary, Kieran Wynne-Cattanach, Jack Cole a Chris Mann, a gefnogodd fi wrth chwblhau nifer fawr o lapiau, hefyd "

Ychwanegodd, "Rwy'n annog pawb i herio eu hunain! Hyfforddwch yn galed ac ewch amdani, mae'n werth chweil yn y diwedd. "

Jac Lewis, from Penygroes near Caernarfon, studied Engineering at Coleg Menai in 2014, whilst completing a three year Apprenticeship programme at Wylfa on Anglesey.

Since completing the Apprenticeship, Jac now works as a Process Engineer for Unilever in Wirral.

Jac completed the gruelling challenge over the Easter weekend, where he set off at 6am on Friday morning, from the bottom of the Marchlyn Mawr Lake, up to the dam. He completed 101 laps, and in total, the challenge was over 360 miles in length, and over 87,000 feet high!

Jac said, "Thank you to everyone who's donated so far to this worthy cause. I wanted to raise money for Alzheimer's Society, as the disease has affected my family and my fiance's family."

"I'd like to thank my friend Callum Dixon, who completed one Everest length alongside myself, as well as Ross Howcroft-Jones, Aiden O'leary, Kieran Wynne-Cattanach, Jack Cole and Chris Mann, who supported me and also completed many laps, too"

He added, "I'd encourage everyone to challenge themselves once in a while! Train hard and go for it, it's really rewarding."
