'The loss we all feel is undiminished, but so too is the love we have for him and the pride we have in him'

The family of Lucas Martin are to take on their next challenge in memory of their son and brother next weekend.

Lucas - known as 'Looky' to his friends and family - died after contracting meningitis in September 2023, aged just 21.

The charity Looky's Aid was established in his memory and has seen feats including an ascent of Mount Kilimanjaro completed to raise money.

Brett told Christy DeHaven he only started running after Looky died:
