Imagine cruising at 70mph and suddenly your windscreen shatters! That’s exactly what happened to Ryan Brettle-Jones while driving on the A465 in Neath. Around 4.45pm on 3rd June, rocks were hurled from a bridge, smashing his car’s windscreen and scattering glass everywhere. Thankfully, Ryan’s three-year-old daughter Lily wasn’t in the car at the time.

Ryan’s story is particularly heart-wrenching as he needs his car for vital trips to Cardiff hospital for Lily’s ongoing treatments. Lily was diagnosed with the WT1 gene mutation in March, leading to serious health challenges. She’s now undergoing dialysis and is waiting on a kidney transplant.
