Story

We are organising a charity football match, in honour of Lana Kaye Murphy, to raise funds for Tiny Lives.

Tiny Lives is a registered charity that helps to care for premature and sick newborn babies and their families and are based in the Special Care Baby Unit of the Newcastle Neonatal Service based in Ward 35 of the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle.

Although it was absolutely heartbreaking for Gemma and I when Lana passed away we feel so lucky to have had Tiny Lives there to support us. Without them we would not have able to create such special memories in the short time Lana was with us.  As a result we want to give something back and support other parents in the future.

Taking place on Saturday 28th February at
Filtrona Park, South Shields, the match will be a competitive, but friendly game between friends and family. Everyone is welcome to come and watch and support us. Kick off is at 2pm, but please arrive before this as we're expecting a big crowd. There will be a warm up prior to kick off, as well as photographs. A trophy will also be presented to the winners. After the match we will have use of the bar until 7pm.

This event is FREE to attend, but any contributions will be gratefully received! Everyone involved in the match itself will be donating at least £10 minimum. There will be collection buckets on the day for spectators and you can also donate via our Just Giving page. All donations will be given directly to Tiny Lives.

We hope see as many people as possible there on the day! All of the lads who will be involved in the game are very excited and honoured to be doing so, so please come and support them. I think we can all agree that Tiny Lives is a fantastic charity and a very worthy cause.

Let's do Lana proud x
