Kindness yacht helps fight cancer

A Worcestershire father-of-four who is to sail across the Atlantic for cancer research has named his yacht after the doctor who helped to save his life.

Jonathan Shingleton, 58, who has recovered from an aggressive form of prostate cancer, has named the boat Kindness after Dr Hugh Kindness.

Mr Shingleton, from Broadway, plans to set sail in November for two months.

The businessman's crew will be made up of both survivors of cancer and those who have the disease.
