Following his death, money has been raised for the British Heart Foundation in memory of Pete Hayes as it was the charity he had supported, having suffered from a Congenital Heart Defect, diagnosed around the age of 12. He was treated at Birmingham Children’s Hospital undergoing three surgeries to successfully widen his narrowed aorta. Thanks to this treatment he was able to live a mainly unaffected life with the treated and associated conditions apart from routine medication. This treatment was always regarded by Pete as a result of the research funded by the BHF charity. As such it was a focal point in his life and a comfort for his family in his loss.
The work of the BHF gave him valuable years of life to live to the full. His death shows how vital their continued research is to improving the survival rates for all people affected by heart defects and heart failure in their lifetime.
We hope this run can be a celebration of his life and of the neighbourhood he grew up in. The intention is to build a community event to promote healthy living and exercise in Handsworth, Handsworth Wood and the surrounding areas.
As a Fun Run, we wish for members of the local community and those who hold Pete close in their hearts to have the opportunity to run to raise money for a great cause.
