COACHMAN RAISES £4000 IN 3 HOURS !! At last weekends London Marathon, John Johnson from the Henley coach company Johnsons joined 30,000 thousand other runners to complete the 26.2 miles distance ....In doing so he hit 2 targets in one race ! First he wanted to raise over £4000 for his chosen charity "Children with Leukeamia" ......" I cleared this just a few days before the race and the money is still coming in from my supporters, which is brilliant ! " ...John said. "Secondly I wanted to do it in a fast time and so set myself the tall order of a sub 3 hour marathon !" Well, he managed that too ......by just 30 seconds ! ...." At the end of it all I was exhausted but chuffed ! So special thanks to the many suppliers, customers, work staff and friends who supported me."
With a sub 3 hours time John, who is 45 years old, is now automatically entered next year in the "Fast for your age" category. Not one to rest on his laurels John is now back in training for his next event when in July he will be cycling by tandem with his wife Anne to Edinburgh!! |
