The money raised is to support a newly formed after-school running club set up by Liberty, a Lichfield based charity that organises after-school clubs for special needs pupils in the Lichfield district area.
KP Events worked with Medized, Alpha Sports and St John’s House to raise the money and KP Events also donated 20 of its Run Strong technical t-shirts to provide pupils with running apparel.
