A 12-year-old Welsh boy risked his life to save a stranger from drowning during one of his first outings after the CCP virus lockdown.

Ethan Hutchings was at the Gorad, Cwmafan, on June 1, 2020, when he witnessed a man struggling in the river. The young boy, who has been self-isolating amid the pandemic after battling thyroid cancer, jumped into the river and performed CPR on the man until help arrived.
