Learn about the man who inspired the charity

Looky’s Aid was born from the legacy of a remarkable young man, Lucas Paul ‘Looky’ Martin. Lucas, known for his infectious enthusiasm and unwavering positivity, lived a life that was a testament to the values of Love, Optimism, Ambition, Determination, and Selflessness - LOADS, as we fondly call it.

Looky sadly passed away on September 12th 2023, aged 21, from meningitis. Despite the best efforts of doctors, and the wonderful care shown by the nursing staff at Nobles Hospital, he was unable to be saved. Lucas was a beacon of hope and joy to everyone who knew him. His ability to uplift others, even in the face of adversity, was extraordinary. He was a firm believer in the potential of every individual, especially young people, to make a positive impact in the world.

We are determined that this will not be the end of his story. To learn more about Lucas and his legacy - check out our memorial website by clicking the button below.
