Chris achieves record run after heart attack

ChrisCallaghanFinishWeb2008: Norwich Christian homeless project leader Chris Callaghan (right) has completed a five km run in a personal best time only months after suffering a heart attack.

Chris, who leads the House of Genesis project in Norwich for homeless young men, suffered an unexpected heart attack last September and on May 11 ran the  5km with the Coltishall Jaguars running club in a personal best of 29 mins and 53 secs
 
"The run went really well," said Chris. Despite the hot sun I achieved a personal best. I want to thank everyone for their support. It is amazing from where I was last September. To God be the Glory!"
