‘OUR HERO’. What a tragedy! The whole country is mourning the passing
Luke, a courageous man from Grimsby, passed away on August 2, surrounded by family, leaving the nation in mourning. Through his YouTube channel *I Will Not Be Defeated*, he inspired people worldwide, sharing his journey after being diagnosed in August 2022 with stage 4 leiomyosarcoma, a rare smooth muscle cancer. Though doctors initially gave him only 12 months to live, Luke defied expectations, enduring multiple chemotherapy rounds and surpassing prognoses even as his health declined. His wife Beckey recalled his humor and resilience, with Luke joking just weeks prior that he was “still alive and kicking.”
