Donate a Flag. Honor a Hero.

Buy a Thin Red or Blue Line Flag to Support the Running 4 Heroes Mission—Delivered to Honor Fallen First Responders

Here’s How You Can Support:

Step 1: Choose Your Flag

Select either a Thin Red Line (firefighters) or Thin Blue Line (police) tribute flag.

Step 2: Make a Donation

Your flag will NOT be shipped to you—it will go into our inventory for Running 4 Heroes.

Step 3: Honor a Hero

Youth runners will carry your donated flag and present it to the family or department of a fallen first responder.

Flags Should Mean Something, Not Just Decorate a Porch

When a first responder gives their life in the line of duty, they deserve more than a moment of silence. They deserve a symbol—one that honors their sacrifice and reminds their families they’re not forgotten. Cheap, imported flags don’t carry that weight.

Choose Your Flag. Fuel the Mission

Every flag you donate will be carried by a youth runner and delivered to honor a fallen hero’s family or department. No shipping. No extras. Just purpose.

Meet the Youth Behind the Mission

Running 4 Heroes is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded by Zechariah Cartledge at just 10 years old. Today, youth runners across the country carry Thin Red and Thin Blue Line flags, running one mile for every fallen first responder. These flags are later delivered to families and departments as a symbol of honor and remembrance.

When you donate a flag, you’re not just sending nylon and thread. You’re delivering hope, healing, and gratitude.

Your Donation Powers Real Change:

- 1 Mile Run for Every Fallen Hero

- 1,500+ Tribute Flags Delivered Nationwide

- $500,000+ in Grants to Injured First Responders and K9 Units

- $500,000+ in grants to surviving families
