Quick thinking 11-year-old Katie-Louise Beynon from Kilgetty, who saved her brother's life by resuscitating him, received a Red Cross award at a special ceremony in Cardiff presented by newsreader Lucy Cohen on Wednesday evening.
Katie-Louise was nominated for her courageous endeavours by a close family friend, Terence Warner from Saundersfoot.
When Katie-Louise's brother, Adam, aged seven, was found collapsed on the bedroom floor, Katie-Louise immediately 'phoned the ambulance and very calmly explained the situation to the operator. She then returned to her brother's side and began to resuscitate Adam whilst the ambulance was on its way.
Adam had his mouth closed and teeth clenched and so it was very difficult to administer mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. But Katie-Louise, who has never had any first aid training, gave her brother mouth-to-nose resuscitation. This, undoubtedly, saved Adam's life.
When the paramedics arrived they rushed Adam to Withybush Hospital where he made a full recovery. The paramedics praised Katie for her actions, her quick-thinking and her presence of mind.
Catrin Fletcher, director British Red Cross Cymru/Wales said: "This is an incredible story of bravery and quick-thinking and Katie-Louise showed presence of mind and maturity way above her years. She has been chosen from a collection of remarkable nominations, all worthy of a Humanity Award."
The Humanity Awards run every year to applaud people who have shown bravery, presence of mind or compassion in difficult circumstances.
