Running for Tiny Lives with Wor Flags

Wor Flags is raising money for Tiny Lives
In memory of Matteo & Nicolo

The Great Wor Flags Run

Tiny Lives is a charitable trust that helps to care for 800+ premature and sick newborn babies and their families each year. It supports the Newcastle Neonatal Service at Newcastle Royal Victoria Infirmary that cares for babies from across the North East and Cumbria.

Story

Wor Flags is a family. We bicker, we fight, we laugh, and we hopefully do some pretty good things. As a family, at difficult moments we try to look out for each other.

In late 2024, we were heartbroken by the loss of Matteo and Nicolo, the twin children of Wor Flags own Chris Heron and his wife Tanita. While Matteo and Nicolo arrived too soon and were only here for a short time, it is our hope that their fight for life can inspire us to help others.

That's why, over the course of the whole of 2025, a few of us from Wor Flags are taking part in a series of running events to raise money for the charity Tiny Lives. You can click on their link to find out more about the incredible work that they do.

We'll be updating this page with race and event updates, and keeping a clock on our mileage, as the year goes on. Thank you for all of your support.
