0:00:47 > 0:00:50- Giving presents - and thanking very special people.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54- Across Wales, there are people - who go the extra mile...
0:00:54 > 0:00:57- ..to give their time - to people who need it.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00- We, their friends, - and the whole of Wales...
0:01:00 > 0:01:03- ..can thank these special people.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07- We'll be giving a few presents - and some surprises too...
0:01:07 > 0:01:09- ..on Diolch O Galon.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- Our journey starts - in Garndolbenmaen, Gwynedd...
0:01:16 > 0:01:19- ..where there are two - very special sisters.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24- This month, medical history - was created here in Wales.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28- Now is the time to make a decision - on donating organs.
0:01:28 > 0:01:33- From 1 December, it'll be easier for - people in Wales to choose to donate.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35- Since 1 December...
0:01:36 > 0:01:40- ..every person - is required to donate organs...
0:01:40 > 0:01:43- ..unless they opt out.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47- Organ donation is a subject - that's very close to my heart...
0:01:47 > 0:01:51- ..and to my family too, - because I lost my sister Elen...
0:01:51 > 0:01:55- ..to a fatal accident in her home - three years ago.
0:01:55 > 0:02:00- But it was a comfort to us to know - that Elen donated her organs...
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- ..which helped so many people.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07- Two sisters live here - in Garndolbenmaen near Porthmadog...
0:02:07 > 0:02:11- ..and organ donation - is very close to their hearts too.
0:02:12 > 0:02:17- In 2012, Llio Dudley was studying - at Trinity College, Carmarthen...
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- ..when she fell ill.
0:02:19 > 0:02:24- I felt fine, just I knew - that something was wrong.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28- I came home on Thursday - and I went to the doctor on Friday.
0:02:28 > 0:02:33- She told me I should go - to Ysbyty Gwynedd just in case.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38- After tests, it became apparent - that her kidneys were failing.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43- Exactly two years later, I was told - I had to start dialysis that day.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- She had to have dialysis - five times a week...
0:02:46 > 0:02:51- ..but the only hope for Llio - was to have a transplant.
0:02:51 > 0:02:56- Because of her condition, - a living donor had to be found.
0:02:56 > 0:03:02- That hit me because I couldn't just - ask anyone to donate their organ.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06- So that hit me - in terms of who would donate.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10- My eldest brother Dafydd - was living in Australia at the time.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- I received a phone call - from the girls.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- They told me - what was wrong with Llio.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- I wasn't sure - what they were trying to tell me.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- But after talking to them more...
0:03:25 > 0:03:29- ..I began to realize - how serious it was.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31- The more I thought about it...
0:03:31 > 0:03:36- ..the easier the decision was - to come home to get myself tested...
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- ..to see if I could help - in the best possible way.
0:03:40 > 0:03:45- The family was tested - to find out if there was a match.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47- There was good news.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- Dafydd and his mother Iona - were possible donors.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55- But there was one perfect match - - Llio's sister, Ffion.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58- I didn't think twice about it.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00- We're so close.
0:04:00 > 0:04:01- It's just something...
0:04:02 > 0:04:05- I just went for it. - I didn't think about it.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10- On 9 March this year, Ffion - donated her kidney to her sister.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14- The sisters' operation - lasted almost ten hours.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17- It was a worrying time - for the family.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20- I'll never forget it.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21- The longest day...
0:04:22 > 0:04:23- ..of our lives.
0:04:24 > 0:04:30- For me as a mother, my two babies - were going through it.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- It was a pain you can't describe.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- I have three scars down my side...
0:04:36 > 0:04:40- ..and one big one - where they removed the kidney.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42- My side is still numb now.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- I've been told - it'll be like that for about a year.
0:04:47 > 0:04:52- The pain went - after around two months.
0:04:53 > 0:04:58- There's a big difference between - this Christmas and the last one.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59- Isn't there?
0:04:59 > 0:05:01- Isn't there?- - A big difference.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07- In tough times, the support - of a community is priceless.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- We wanted to show support - to the family...
0:05:11 > 0:05:15- ..and that the whole village - was thinking about them.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19- We thought about riding a bike - from Garndolbenmaen to Cardiff...
0:05:20 > 0:05:22- ..to raise money to help them.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26- We started from the local pub - at midnight on Friday.
0:05:27 > 0:05:32- We arrived at the Mochyn Du around - three in the afternoon on Saturday.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35- The whole Dudley family was there.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37- A pint was waiting for us.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41- It was the nicest pint - I've ever had!
0:05:45 > 0:05:49- In the first three months - after the transplant...
0:05:49 > 0:05:51- ..I was always thanking her.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- She was telling me, - "Stop thanking me!"
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- We've almost forgotten about it now.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57- We don't think about it.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- We don't think about it.- - No, until someone asks about it.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- It was a great experience.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- To see Llio today - compared to how she was before...
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- ..I don't regret anything.
0:06:09 > 0:06:10- Not at all.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15- It's been quite a year - for this family from Garndolbenmaen.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19- Llio and Ffion have organized - a dinner to thank their family.
0:06:21 > 0:06:26- As you know, Ffion and I have been - through a lot the past year.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- I've thanked her many times.

0:06:31 > 0:06:34- Both of us - would like to thank you, our family.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39- I don't think we'd have been able - to do this without your support.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44- I don't think I'd have been able - to do this without Ffion's support.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48- Without their knowledge, - the family want to thank them too.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51- We've arranged a surprise.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55- Both of them are big fans of rugby, - and of one star especially.
0:06:56 > 0:07:01- Without them knowing, Wales' leading - try scorer is about to turn up.

0:08:48 > 0:08:50- She had a successful career...
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- ..as a nurse and health visitor - before retiring.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55- But she has never truly retired.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- She's as busy as ever - helping the elderly.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- She founded - the Pontarddulais luncheon club...
0:09:02 > 0:09:06- ..which is an important part of the - lives of the elderly in the area.
0:09:07 > 0:09:12- With a lot of people, you have to go - to meet them and ask them to join.
0:09:13 > 0:09:18- What they get is friends to meet up - with every week and a hot meal.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22- A couple of times a year, - we arrange a trip.
0:09:23 > 0:09:28- At Christmas time, we're taking them - to the Plough in Rhosmaen.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33- Age Cymru is a charity which - provides support for the elderly.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- Valmai works very closely - with the movement.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41- Half the people over 65 in Britain - have told us...
0:09:42 > 0:09:46- ..that the television or a pet is - their main source of companionship.
0:09:46 > 0:09:51- So the luncheon club run by Valmai - provides people with company...
0:09:51 > 0:09:55- ..gives them a chance to have a chat - and meet with friends.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58- It's something - to look forward to every week.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01- The luncheon club is very important.

0:10:23 > 0:10:27- ..who try and trick the elderly - over the phone to give money.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- Old people are always so 'polite'.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34- If people - talk to you on the phone...
0:10:34 > 0:10:38- ..you feel as though - you have to listen to them.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- Then they try - to get things from you.
0:10:41 > 0:10:46- People are caught out because they - think, "This person sounds nice."
0:10:46 > 0:10:50- They don't understand - that they're bad people.

0:11:24 > 0:11:26- Yes, it is.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30- My parents - died within a year of each other.
0:11:30 > 0:11:35- In the church - is a window in their memory.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37- Every time I go in there...
0:11:37 > 0:11:41- ..especially in the summer - where the sun shines in...
0:11:41 > 0:11:44- ..my parents are looking down on me.
0:11:44 > 0:11:49- So, a piece of my heart - is always in the church.

0:34:55 > 0:34:58- Evan is a hero in Ystradgynlais.
0:34:58 > 0:35:02- What he did for his mother - was great. It was so important.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05- He knew what to do. - That's important.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09- I heard he looked at the - dog's collar for the address.
0:35:10 > 0:35:11- That was clever.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15- Information is everything for us.
0:35:16 > 0:35:21- Knowing exactly where we're going - makes the job so much easier.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25- His mother was ill - and she needed immediate attention.
0:35:25 > 0:35:30- He definitely saved her - by doing what he did.
0:35:32 > 0:35:37- At school, the paramedics went in - one day to play the call back...
0:35:38 > 0:35:40- ..to show what you need to do...
0:35:40 > 0:35:43- ..and to make sure - children know their address.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45- Later, two of the girls - came up to me...
0:35:46 > 0:35:48- ..and said, - "You're Evan's mami, aren't you?
0:35:48 > 0:35:50- "Evan saved you.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53- "Evan's our hero."
0:35:53 > 0:35:57- It was completely doe-eyed - little girls...
0:35:57 > 0:36:01- ..as if they were meeting - One Direction almost!
0:36:02 > 0:36:05- We can't tell him that. - He gets a bit embarrassed about it.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10- It is still emotional - - everything I went through...
0:36:10 > 0:36:13- ..and how ill I was - as well, looking back.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16- I hope it showed Evan - he can do anything he wants.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18- He doesn't need to be scared.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22- He can look back on it - in five or ten years' time...
0:36:22 > 0:36:24- ..or even when he has children...
0:36:24 > 0:36:27- ..and say, - "Look what I did when I was seven."
0:36:28 > 0:36:31- One of Evan's main interests - is football.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33- He's a keen fan of Swansea City...

0:39:12 > 0:39:16- Well, we've paid tribute - to some of Wales' unsung heroes.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19- We've got one story left.
0:39:20 > 0:39:25- Two years ago, Irfon Williams - from Bangor found out he had cancer.
0:39:26 > 0:39:31- Irfon is a father of five - and the husband of Rebecca.
0:39:32 > 0:39:37- He had a diagnosis of bowel cancer - that spread to his liver.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41- Despite knowing - while I went through the tests...
0:39:41 > 0:39:46- ..what it would be I still felt - like I'd been hit with a frying pan.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48- It was a huge shock.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51- We both work - in the mental health field.
0:39:52 > 0:39:58- We decided early on that we had - to look after my mental health too.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01- We couldn't let this - get the best of us.
0:40:01 > 0:40:07- So, we went public with it - and I spoke on Radio Cymru...
0:40:07 > 0:40:11- ..about my experience - with bowel cancer.
0:40:12 > 0:40:16- While I was on the radio, I said - I'd do something to raise money.
0:40:16 > 0:40:17- By that point...
0:40:17 > 0:40:21- ..I was getting chemotherapy - treatment in Ysbyty Gwynedd.
0:40:21 > 0:40:25- I realized how much people - go through with the treatment.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28- Losing your hair and so on.
0:40:28 > 0:40:33- I decided on the radio - that I'd shave my hair...
0:40:33 > 0:40:38- ..and wear a silly wig - every day for two weeks.
0:40:38 > 0:40:43- I came home and Becky said to me, - "Why did you say that publicly?"
0:40:43 > 0:40:46- "You'll have to do it now!"
0:40:46 > 0:40:46- You weren't happy.
0:40:46 > 0:40:47- You weren't happy.- - No.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49- Not at all.
0:40:53 > 0:40:57- Despite his situation, Irfon decided - to go about raising money...
0:40:57 > 0:40:59- ..for Alaw Ward at Ysbyty Gwynedd.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04- That's how Team Irfon started.
0:41:05 > 0:41:10- Within two weeks of wearing - these wigs, I'd raised 5,000.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13- My target was 20,000 by Christmas.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16- My father decided after I finished - to carry on with it.
0:41:17 > 0:41:18- He raised a load of money.
0:41:18 > 0:41:22- It just escalated from there.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25- Children came - and knocked the door...
0:41:25 > 0:41:28- ..saying they'd baked cakes - and sold them at school.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31- They'd brought 12 with them.
0:41:31 > 0:41:35- Friends have run six marathons - in six days, raising 10,000.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39- I feel so lucky to live - in such a tight-knit community.
0:41:39 > 0:41:45- Local people have come together - for such a good cause.
0:41:45 > 0:41:49- Unfortunately, everybody - knows someone with cancer.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54- People think it's important - to raise awareness of it.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56- We shouldn't be afraid of it.
0:41:56 > 0:42:02- Hopefully, we've given people - the confidence to fight it.
0:42:02 > 0:42:08- By now, Team Irfon has raised over - 100,000 for the Awyr Las appeal.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12- That appeal works toward improving - better healthcare in North Wales.
0:42:13 > 0:42:17- Team Irfon's efforts make - a difference in patients' lives.
0:42:17 > 0:42:21- Manon, the work you do here - at Alaw Ward is incredible.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24- But the work that someone - like Irfon has done...
0:42:25 > 0:42:27- ..to raise money and awareness - is priceless.
0:42:28 > 0:42:29- Yes, yes it is.
0:42:30 > 0:42:34- Many more people are diagnosed - with cancer.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37- We do so much more treatment.
0:42:37 > 0:42:38- Because of that...
0:42:38 > 0:42:42- ..so many more people in the - community are living with cancer.
0:42:42 > 0:42:47- It's so important that someone like - Irfon can show that positivity...
0:42:47 > 0:42:51- ..and how he's maintained - his normality with the family.
0:42:51 > 0:42:56- What he's done in the community. - He's kept doing as much as he can.
0:42:57 > 0:43:02- He's also been in treatment and - stayed positive about his prospects.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04- What will that money be spent on?
0:43:04 > 0:43:10- It's spent on things that go beyond - what the NHS can provide.
0:43:10 > 0:43:14- In Team Irfon's case, it's paid - for wigs and headdresses...
0:43:14 > 0:43:17- ..for women who've lost their hair - during treatment.
0:43:18 > 0:43:22- Complementary therapies which are - something Irfon benefited from...
0:43:23 > 0:43:25- ..while he was treated here.
0:43:25 > 0:43:31- It's going to pay for a counselling - room when Uned Alaw is extended.
0:43:32 > 0:43:36- Following two years - of intensive therapy...
0:43:36 > 0:43:40- ..at the start of December, - Irfon and the family got some news.
0:43:41 > 0:43:46- The good news that Irfon - had managed to beat the cancer.
0:43:47 > 0:43:51- The feeling I got - was some kind of relief.
0:43:52 > 0:43:55- I'd been through this - and at last, it had worked.
0:43:55 > 0:44:00- At the same time, I've met so many - people who didn't get better.
0:44:01 > 0:44:03- People who have lost friends.
0:44:03 > 0:44:09- I'm aware of people who've died - of cancer who can't celebrate.
0:44:09 > 0:44:12- Maybe it's not something - to celebrate.
0:44:13 > 0:44:18- I feel a little guilty that other - people aren't in the same position.
0:44:18 > 0:44:22- By now, I remember when I started - with the treatment...
0:44:23 > 0:44:27- ..and I remember the boost I got - when I heard the good news.
0:44:27 > 0:44:32- We've decided now - that we need to be public about it.
0:44:32 > 0:44:35- I hope other people - get a boost from this.
0:44:36 > 0:44:40- I hope it gives people confidence - to fight and stay positive.
0:44:42 > 0:44:46- We've come here - to Ysbyty Gwynedd and as usual...
0:44:46 > 0:44:48- ..we've got a gift to say thank you.
0:44:49 > 0:44:52- This time, we're doing something - a little different.
0:44:53 > 0:44:56- Originally, you'd get the thank you.
0:44:56 > 0:45:00- We've decided to change that - a little bit.
0:45:01 > 0:45:06- We're going to thank Becky - and to give her the surprise.
0:45:07 > 0:45:09- That's something you wanted.
0:45:09 > 0:45:11- I think people take for granted...
0:45:11 > 0:45:15- ..that it's hard for patients - who go through the process.
0:45:16 > 0:45:20- But, at times, - I think it's so much harder...
0:45:20 > 0:45:24- ..for partners, wives, - husbands and the family.
0:45:24 > 0:45:28- Becky deserves a lot of thanks - for what she's done for me.
0:45:34 > 0:45:37- Well, Becky...
0:45:37 > 0:45:43- ..you thought we were coming here - to thank Irfon...
0:45:44 > 0:45:46- ..and that there's a surprise - for Irfon.
0:45:46 > 0:45:49- We're doing something - a little different.
0:45:49 > 0:45:51- We're thanking you.
0:45:51 > 0:45:54- Irfon has something - he'd like to say.
0:45:54 > 0:45:59- I just wanted to say thank you - for everything you've done for me.
0:45:59 > 0:46:03- I wouldn't be here today - without you.
0:46:06 > 0:46:07- Thank you very much.
0:46:11 > 0:46:13- You don't need to thank me.
0:46:14 > 0:46:17- That's one surprise, - and we've got another one.
0:46:17 > 0:46:19- Take a look at that door.
0:46:29 > 0:46:35- Thank you is a short phrase - but a very important one.
0:46:35 > 0:46:40- Sometimes, the words thank you - just aren't quite enough.
0:46:41 > 0:46:45- In your case, everything - you've done to help Irfon...
0:46:46 > 0:46:51- ..during this difficult period - you've had, it's not enough.
