My story
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.
I am pleased to confirm I managed to complete my 12th London Marathon in a row at 4:28:21! A bit slower than last year, but I was interviewed on the way around by BBC :-)
My best time was in 2002 at 3 hours and 23 minutes, but I am getting older. I am looking forward already to next year's - wish I could do another one tomorrow! Your help and support encourages me tremendously to raise money for charity.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Kent Association for the Blind will receive your money faster and, if you are a taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
If you prefer, you can pay by cheque, payable to 'KAB'. Please send your payments to: Ray Johnson, Church House, 136 Sandgate Road, Folkestone, Kent CT20 2BN.
Any queries, just give me a call on 01303 221 188 / 07968 290 352.
Just to say a big thank you to those who have already sponsored me, particularly local companies, including The Roger De Haan Charitable Trust, Girlings Solicitors, BNI Folkestone, McCabe Ford Williams and Sweat Shop. I must not forget Carol my wife & boys for not seeing me early in the mornings!
Recently the following companies have donated, which is greatly appreciated:
Insure Green
Independent Insurance Services
Ash Clean Park
Readings Louden
Red Eagle Recruitment
Do please do sponsor me now if you have not yet done so already!
Many thanks for your support.

My charity
Kent Association for the Blind
Charity Registration No. 1062354
KAB supports sight impaired people to live independent lives. We provide help and support to over 15,000 blind and partially-sighted people throughout Kent, Medway and Bromley. We work with children and adults, people with learning and physical disabilities, and people who are deafblind, and we also support families, friends and employers. <p> It can take time to adjust to sight loss. Our staff help people find ways to overcome the difficulties and encourage people to live life to the full, whatever their interests. <p> If you were to lose your sight, KAB would be there for you. We'd offer emotional support, explain your eye condition and its effects, assess your particular individual needs, give advice on benefits and concessions and help you to get them, and we'd help you to access the specialist equipment and aids that could make your life that much easier. We'd be there to help with mobility and getting about safely, help you to return to the workplace safely, or take up new pastimes or hobbies and meet other people. We also produce a gree regional news service, Kent Talking News, whish is distributed to 2,000 households in our area. <p> In the meantime, we rely on you; your support for our work makes a huge difference. Thank you.
