Private Surgery for a Champion’s Comeback

Hi, my name is Dustin Little.

Four years ago, I made the life-changing decision to quit drinking and rebuild my life. In that time, I found purpose, discipline, and strength through the art of Muay Thai. What started as a way to heal turned into a journey of passion and relentless pursuit of excellence.

Since then, I’ve climbed the ranks in competitive Muay Thai and kickboxing:

• Pan American Silver Medalist

• WAKO Kickboxing National Silver Medalist

• Provincial Muay Thai Champion

• Canadian National Muay Thai Champion

This sport has given me more than just titles—it has given me a second chance at life. Every early morning, every grueling training session, every fight has brought me closer to my dream: becoming a World Champion.

But now, that dream is in jeopardy.

I recently suffered an abdominal hernia that has not only forced me out of an upcoming title fight but has completely paused my competitive career. My doctor has informed me that the wait time for surgery through the public healthcare system is 2 to 3 years. By then, I risk losing the peak years of my athletic prime, along with the momentum I’ve worked so hard to build.

That’s why I’m turning to you.

I’m seeking to raise $10,000 CAD to undergo private surgery in Edmonton, Alberta, so I can recover quickly, get back in the ring, and continue chasing my dream.

Every donation—no matter how small—brings me one step closer to recovery, and one step closer to proving that anything is possible with purpose, passion, and perseverance.

If my story has inspired you, if you believe in second chances and chasing greatness, I ask you to please contribute and share this campaign. Your support will help me return stronger, faster, and hungrier than ever before.

From the bottom of my heart—thank you.
