186 people were screened on 3rd and 4th of April 2024 at South Hunsley School in Melton. This screening was in memory of Jamie Loncaster. Thank you to all involved.
Jamie was a caring and thoughtful young boy, but he was also a typical teenager who was full of energy with an enthusiasm for life. A close family friend said that Jamie had fitted a lifetime of talking into his 13 short years, because he was such a chatterbox!
Anyone who had ever met Jamie would agree why, in his eulogy, we explained how his name reflected his character:
Joker Articulate Mature Intelligent Extrovert
Sadly, Jamie passed away on 14th March 2015 – he was only 13 years old.
We found Jamie in his bed on that fateful Saturday morning – he had died in his sleep as a result of severe viral myocarditis. Thankfully we’ve been assured that he would have known nothing about it.
The support since losing Jamie has been overwhelming, with donations enabling us to fund heart screening events with CRY in our local area. We like to refer to it as Jamie’s Legacy.
Jamie will never be forgotten and we remain devastated by his sudden exit from our lives, but he remains in our hearts and memories and we talk about him often. He will always be an integral part of our family and hopefully we will all meet again one day.
As we said at the end of his eulogy, “Sleep Tight, Little Man”.

Jamie was full of energy and enthusiasm for life. One friend said that he had fitted a lifetime of talking into 13 years. How very true!

On behalf of myself my parents and my sister partner and the people who knew Yasmin. We would like to donate to this special charity. As we recently suddenly lost Yasmin to ARVD at 31years. The importance of screening is huge and we support this 100%. I recently had screening with the team and couldn’t thank them enough for the care and knowledge they supported me with.
Cash donations collected at our heart screening event on 19/20 October. Huge thanks to all who donated either by cash or online.
