Looky's Aid launches with first event

Charity football match tonight in memory of Lucas Martin

A charity launched in memory of a Manx man who died suddenly of meningitis is hosting its first event.

Lucas Martin was just 21 when he died in September.

His family has now started "Looky's Aid", which hopes to give opportunities to young people facing adversity.

Its first fundraiser takes place tonight (12 December), which is a football game between some of Lucas' former teammates.

It will see an Isle of Man Select XI play a Marown XI - Lucas represented both sides at junior level in previous years.

Kick off is at 7pm at The Bowl.
