The Jamie Loncaster Memorial Fund is held with Cardiac Risk in the Young. All donations are ringfenced and used locally for heart screenings.

Details of all screenings will be posted on here in advance. Please contact us via Messenger if possible. Jamie sadly passed away on 14th March 2015. He was only 13 years old. Jamie died in his sleep from 'severe myocarditis' and although rarely fatal, on this occasion it took a life. Thankfully, he would have known nothing about it. The family now support Cardiac Risk in the Young (www.c-r-y.org.uk), having discovered that at least 12 young people (14-35) die each week of an undetected heart condition. 80% have no prior symptoms. There is a ring-fenced Memorial Fund held with CRY in Jamie's name. Donations to Jamie's fund allow us to host FREE heart screening sessions with CRY, which now cost around £6,000 a day and can screen about 100 people.

💙 End of an era....

Last weekend saw us host our final scheduled heart screening days with the amazing Cardiac Risk in the Young team.

It has been nothing short of humbling and overwhelming to see so many young people from our local area benefit from a free heart screening over the last ten years.

Some of those young people (you know who you are) have needed, or will need, further treatment and support and we wish you well as you navigate the years ahead.

As you would expect, we have made some very close connections with many of the CRY team who attend and run our events, and it was an emotional goodbye to them on Sunday evening.

Last weekend a total of 193 young people were screened and our final grand total across the full 10 years is a staggering 3,412.

The photos show the full CRY team for this event along with Graham, Jenny & Ross and also a final poignant photo of just Graham, Jenny & Ross alongside the banner of Jamie as the screenings came to a close... 😢

We hope that Jamie's legacy has left a positive impact on our local and wider community, which was only made possible by YOUR generosity and fundraising.

Thank you... 😘

👀 Advanced Notice:

Our October Heart Screening event with Cardiac Risk in the Young will be live for booking in early September and we will post the details on these social media pages nearer the time.

Please note that this will be our LAST SCHEDULED screening event.

We began back in May 2016 and will have screened almost 3,500 young people across 36 screening days by the time the October event is finished.

The fund has now been fully expended and as each event is emotionally draining and a reminder of our heart-breaking loss, we have taken the difficult decision to take a break for a while.

Never say never as the saying goes, but we have no screenings scheduled beyond October 2026 at this stage.

Thank you for your kindness and support over the years. It has meant so much to us all and we know how humbled Jamie would have been to have seen such positivity in his memory.

We miss his presence in our lives beyond words....

Another screening event completed! 👍🏻

Frustratingly, there were around 35 cancellations or no-shows over the two days. However, the team still managed to screen 165 young people with a couple of cases of concern. Those patients will have been referred for further consultations. We wish them well going forward.

Jamie’s legacy has now screened an amazing 3,219 young people since the first event back in 2016. The original aim was to screen 1,000 so we've somewhat exceeded our own expectations!

Our next screening event will be in October 2026, but sadly it will be our last scheduled screening after 10 years offering the events in memory of Jamie. As much as we’d like to continue, they are emotionally draining and the fund is now fully spent or allocated, so perhaps it's time to step back - for a while at least...

Thank you for your amazing support over the years. We've said it time and time again, but we are deeply grateful and Jamie would be incredibly humbled.

We know he's seeing what's going on and the amazing legacy he has left behind and long for the day that we are able to see him once again.

Here's a photo of Jamie unwrapping one of his many WWE presents back in 2011. Happy, but heart-breaking memories . 💔
