Remembering Peter Hayes

Boathouse-Runners2015

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. This is a collective page for members of the Boathouse Runners group who are taking part in the Pete Hayes Handsworth 10k Fun Run 2015. We have all started running in Handsworth with this group and for many of us it will be the first time that we have competed at the distance, so please give a little to support us with this goal. We will be very grateful and it will go a long way to assist the work that the British Heart Foundation do.

Runners confirmed so far: Saroj, John H, Dav, John D, Helen, John C, Sarah, Delith, Roy and Nancy.

This page is also the place to donate on behalf of Anthony Hayes, Pete's dad and Boathouse Run Leader. He is not running the 10k as he is Race Director, however he has entered the Birmingham Half Marathon as a thank you to all of the Boathouse Runners who take part and would like donations to go into the same chest.

I did not think that I would keep running for long enough to run a distance such as this. So while I still have health and fitness I am going to challenge myself to the half marathon distance. I am running to support Autism West Midlands, who are a superb local charity that have been very helpful to my wife and I, providing support to help us meet the needs of our children who each have Autism. Please spare a little of what you can to support me and the charity, it will be gratefully received.

Please donate what you can, everything and anything is love. Thank you. The British Heart Foundation keep people alive where they wouldn't be without their research. I am giving something back for the precious gift they gave. Pete was gone too soon but may not have made it into adulthood.

I am putting on my running shoes to run in memory of my nephew, Peter Hayes. He lived with a Congenital Heart Condition and died in 2012 at the age of 25. Please give for a very good cause, and shout me on in September if you can.

I will be doing the longest run I have ever done, in memory of a great man and great friend, Pete.

Last week when I started training, I couldn't run for a minute without stopping!

I am hoping to run 10k in five weeks time to raise money for the British Heart Foundation in memory of a wonderful man, Pete Hayes. 

Please do sponsor me for this great cause. 

Thanks

The Pete Hayes Handsworth 10k fun run has been set up by my sister's husband and his family in memory of Pete Hayes, my brother in law who sadly passed away in 2012 from a heart condition. They have also started a Sunday running group in Handsworth park :)

If you're thinking of starting running or are a seasoned runner get involved (http://handsworthpark10k.weebly.com/) and raise money for a great cause!

If you're not so keen on the running part then just sponsor me what you can - anything will be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks,

Thanks for coming to my Just Giving page. 

I want to raise money for British Heart Foundation as I have lost two friends through heart conditions, Matt in 2007 and Pete in 2012.

Whether you knew them or not, it would mean a lot if you can sponsor whatever you are able to.

Thanks!

Thanks to Kellie for the idea.

As Christmas will be hard this year, and it is a very Pete time of year, I am going to selfishly avoid the pain of writing out cards by donating in his memory instead.

So, if this is something you would also like to do, please feel free.

I hope it helps you like it will me.

Thank you.

John.

Peter Hayes, the drummer with London dream pop band Echo Lake tragically passed away on Thursday 21 June. A long-time personal friend of the site, it fills us with huge sadness that such a talented and gentle soul could have his life cut so short at such a young age.

As well as being an incredibly talented drummer, Pete worked as a camera assistant for various television companies and indeed on occasion for our own Best Fit Sessions - most notably with Oh Land.

Our dearest and deepest thoughts go out to Pete's family, his girlfriend Caroline - a former editor at Best Fit and of course his loyal band mates Linda, Thom, Steve and Kier.

We will be donating a portion of The Line Of Best Fit's revenue to the British Heart Foundation in memory of Pete. If you're able, we urge you to give to the same cause - whether big or small. It would mean the world to Pete and his family at this extremely difficult time.

Echo Lake's debut album Wild Peace is out Monday 25 June. This is reason to celebrate: massively devoted to the band from day one, we're certain Pete will be looking down from the heavens with his unforgettable wide eyed smile, proud as punch.

Pete was 25 years old. He will be dearly missed by all.
