Couple launch website to keep son's memory alive

Friday, 6 October 2023 15:41

A Manx couple have created a new website to carry on their son's legacy after losing him to meningitis.

Lucas Martin passed away last month, aged 21, with parents Brett and Nicky now looking to showcase his values as he was robbed of the chance to do it himself.

They're calling on people to go through life with Love, Optimism, Ambition, Determination and Selflessness (or LOADS).

The website, LookyMartin.com, also gives those who knew Lucas the chance to share the ways he helped and inspired them.

There are also links to various meningitis and organ donation charities for those wishing to donate.
