Father kayaks across the English Channel to raise funds to fight son’s illness - View News Article - Action Duchenne - Fighting for a cure for muscular dystrophy: Father from Dibden Purlieu, Stuart Littler, is to kayak across the English channel with his two friends, Charlie Brett and Jon Turner to raise funds to find viable treatments for his son, Ben. Ben, who is 6 in September, was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy in December 2009. Since then the family have been working with charity Action Duchenne to raise money to improve awareness and funds for this life limiting condition. The three friends are novice kayakers and have never attempted anything like this before. In the process they have already met their initial target of raising �5000, and are now aiming for �10,000, to be donated to Action Duchenne. The crossing is set to take place during week commencing 27 August, and will be dependent on tides and weather.
