The event is being organised partly by Katie Skidmore who is a friend of Amelia's mother Liz and Harley's parents Dean and Kelly. Harley was taken ill with an asthma attack at the Merry Hill Centre on February 15 and subsequently died. Dudley Town played Lye Town in a game dedicated to his memory and Wolves - the tea he supported - held a minute's applause in a Premier League game. Entertainment on Sunday includes a penalty shoot out with representatives from West Bromwich Albion, axe throwing, a rodeo and live music It will also feature magic from Mark Infiniti, a support act to Dynamo, and an auction of sporting memorabilia. All proceeds raised will be divided equally between Headway Dudley, Birmingham Children's Hospital, Little Heart Matters and Edwards Trust Bereavement Counselling .
