Rehman Chishti Maidstone Half Marathon: 18 October 2009

Rehman ran his 5th Half Marathon for Local Charity today (Maidstone Half Marathon)

Sunday 18 October 2009. Rehman Chishti Conservative parliamentary candidate for Gillingham and Rainham today ran his 5th half marathon in a personal best time (1 hour 45 minutes) for a local charity and to help a local boy Keiran who is 14 years old and lives in Hempstead and is blind. Rehman had met Keiran and had offered to run this half marathon to help raise the profile for his appeal, and to raise some funds to help Keiran travel to China for Stem cell operation.

Since Rehman pledged to run this half marathon, Keiran and his family have reached their target to fund the operation in China. Rehman met Keirans dad before the race, who also ran the half marathon.

Rehman will therefore donate the money raised to a local charity helping supporting people with blindness.

Rehman said It was tough going today as the Maidstone half marathon route is very hilly however I thoroughly enjoyed it, and helped raise profile and some money for such a worthy cause. I would like to Thank Laura Church from (Lane academy Rainham) for her training and advice on nutrition, this really paid off in helping me set my personal best time of 1 hour 45 minutes.

A big thank you to all those who sponsored me.
