Little Feat has fans spanning across the world. What better way than spearheading a Global Effort to assist Richie with some fundraising efforts to help defray what will surely be extensive medical costs for his prompt treatment.
This page will be solely dedicated to consolidating ALL the pertinent Fundraising efforts toward helping this amazing drummer get back on his "Feat". We're calling this page "Richie Hayward Fundraising Central". The page will be updated when new fundraising projects are announced.
