AN EVENING of soul, jazz and the chance to win a hot-air balloon ride are being organised to help a disabled four-year-old boy.

The Myles Miller Trust is set to host the evening of entertainment at the Acacia Halls, High Street, Dartford.

The youngster, from Peckham, suffers from the genetic disorder muscular dystrophy, which causes a weakening of the muscles.

The charity, set up 12 months ago by Myles' aunt Jennie Thomas, of Elizabeth Street, Greenhithe, aims to raise £75,000 to adapt his home with equipment including a disability lift and bathroom hoist.

Mrs Thomas said: "We have raised £25,000 but want to raise the bar to achieve the remainder as quickly as possible to ease Myles' suffering."

To book a ticket for the February 25 event, call Mrs Miller on 01322 385508.
