An eight-year-old boy from Swansea who survived a crash on the M4 that killed his mum has raised money for the Wales Air Ambulance as a way of thanking them for saving his life. Cian Evans from Pontardawe was just two-years-old when he was airlifted to the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff after the crash on the M4 near Port Talbot.
Sadly, the collision killed his mum, Rebecca Evans. Cian suffered two broken legs, a fractured skull and a bleed between his brain and skull. But despite these horrific injuries, Cian battled through and is now a happy and healthy eight-year-old boy.
While Cian enjoys most of his days playing football and running around outside, recently he has taken on a challenge. Back in April, the Neath Abbey Primary School student signed up for the Wales Air Ambulance's annual fundraising campaign, Walk Wales, which is a virtual walking challenge in which Cian had to achieve 100k throughout the month of May.
