So we can assist the family and keep Kelvin’s mission alive because his mission was not only to be a runner but he was an exceptional human being. Without anybody knowing, he was paying school fees for several children in this area and he had great plans,” Bob stated.
“We will sit down together with the family and together with Athletics Kenya and agree on how to raise more money for his foundation,” Bob added.
The Golazo Sports Management Company further vowed to lobby other athletes to contribute to the kitty that would be created in honour of Kelvin Kiptum.
