Looky's Aid charity match announced for December

Charity is being launched in memory of Lucas Martin

A charity football match will take place next month as part of the launch of a new charity which honours a Manx resident.

An Isle of Man Select XI will play a Marown Select XI on Tuesday, 12 December, for the launch of Looky's Aid - named after 21-year-old Lucas Martin who died in September after contracting meningitis.

The organisation's mission is to make sure the spirit of Lucas lives on by 'inspiring underprivileged, ill and/or disabled people' to live with 'purpose and passion'.

Lucas represented both the Isle of Man and Marown junior football sides in previous years.

Anyone wishing to enter the event can do so by making a donation of their choice via the JustGiving page for the match.
