Meet Our Supporters: Naeem and Ishaq Ramzan

Naeem Ramzan and son, Ishaq completed a 10K run at RunThrough this summer, and raised a whopping £920 for Imran Khan Cancer Appeal. In their efforts to enable needy patients to receive free cancer treatment, the father-son team from Rainham, Essex, learned more about themselves and grew closer. We caught up with Naeem, to find out about their experience.

Thank you for supporting Imran Khan Cancer Appeal. Can you tell us a little about your experience?

The whole experience was amazing for both Ishaq and me. We wanted to do a joint venture this summer. Something worthwhile and beneficial to society at large and at the same time a challenge for us. We are very fond of what Imran Khan has done for Pakistan and wanted to show our gratitude.

What were the highlights for you?

The key highlight for me was watching how dedicated and disciplined my son was both during the training and during the 10K run. He never missed a single day on his training runs, and at times he even pushed me. I was so impressed with his enthusiasm. We both motivated each other during the training and grew closer. It was amazing how we bonded together.

Would you recommend this challenge to other families?

I would definitely recommend it. Not only does it help you get fit, but at the same time what keeps you motivated and determined is the fact that you keep reminding yourself you are doing it for a noble cause.
