In memory of Luke Hobson

Luke Hobson Tribute 

Raising funds for the East Anglian Air Ambulance because we want to support their work to help all of us.

Luke's death from a tragic accident, simply doing what he enjoyed doing, has devastated his family, friends and our community.  He was such a remarkable boy who touched so many lives. 

Luke's enthusiasm for all he did was marvellously infectious. And he did so much – whether he was singing in the choir or playing the drums, playing sport, taking part in outdoor pursuits, or polishing his computer programming skills, always it was with that wonderful cheerful commitment.  He was hugely liked, with many good friends. Part of his secret was that he managed to combine seriousness of purpose with tremendous enthusiasm, good cheer and humour. 

A common theme amongst the many tributes that have been paid to Luke is his sense of fairness and justice: his friends all knew that Luke was there for them.  Luke is a much needed reminder that true goodness, integrity, honour and respect live on.

On the night Luke died, coaches at the club and the emergency services did an extraordinary job to try and save him.  Tragically his injury was not survivable but we want to help the emergency services by donating to the East Anglian Air Ambulance which took Luke to Addenbrooke's Hospital that night.  Please give generously so that their crucial work to help us all can continue.
