Founded by brothers, Jolyon and Luke Capon along with their sister-in-law, Lucy Capon, Lasting Memories Cancer Trust was created as an ongoing tribute to seven of their family members who sadly lost their battles with cancer. This includes Christian, who passed in 2017, aged just 37, the beloved husband to Lucy and brother of Jolyon and Luke whose mum, Julie, also passed away in 2018, aged 62.The grief experienced in supporting a loved one through cancer is harrowing. It is devastating to see someone consumed by illness and the ongoing affects that cancer has on all areas of their life, including their relationships with family. Collectively, we strive to make a positive difference and help families create lasting memories because, from our personal experiences, we know just how much memories matter.

Lasting Memories is a charitable trust run by a Board of Trustees on a voluntary basis. All of our board have been personally affected in some capacity by cancer and are driven by their experiences to provide support for those in our local community who are currently facing similar situations. We pride ourselves on being solely run by volunteers and ensure that as much of our funding as possible is used to help those affected by cancer, in their time of need.
