Video: "He's my little hero": Eight-year-old awarded for helping nana after traumatic injury.
Patrick Ryan may be 8 years old but in the eyes of his nana he will forever be her little hero.
The Te Mata Primary student was honoured with an ASB Super Saver Bravery Award by St John for his courage and quick thinking when he helped her after she suffered a traumatic injury from a nasty fall.
The award – which was a surprise for the year three student – came with a golden superhero cape and certificate.
