Ske:noh (Greetings) from Six Nations of the Grand River Ohsweken, ON aka the largest populated rez in Canada.  I am so honored to be a member of the 2009 Team Running Strong & will begin my training this month (MAY) for the 34th Marine Corps Marathon.  I look forward to meeting one of my running heros "Billy Mills" @ my 3rd full marathon on October 25, 2009 in Arlington, VA.  

I am from the Onondaga Nation, Wolf Clan & am a descendant of the great "Tom Longboat".  Another running inspiration of mine is my Great-Uncle & Cayuga Chief "Cleve General." 

Nya:weh (Thanks) for visiting my personal fundraising page.  Your contribution will help so many beautiful people to live happy & healthy lives and I am truly grateful for your kindness and generosity.  Your donation process is simple, fast and totally safe.  Please be sure to forward this to anyone who you think may want to make a contribution to 2009 Team Running Strong for American Indian Youth!  

You have til January 25, 2010 to contribute on-line if you wish to do so.  It was truly an amazing experience to finally meet a personal running hero of mine, Mr. Billy Mills, & Im so inspired by his amazing work with our people.  What an honour!  The Marine Corps Marathon was excellent, well organized, a lil hilly, & beautiful scenery & great people!  Definitely a marathon i would recommend to anyone interested in marathon running.  Thank you to all of my dear friends, family, & community of Six Nations of the Grand River for all your support & encouragement over the last 6 months of preparation & for helping me to reach my fundraising goal which goes to helping our aboriginal youth/community in need.  Im forever grateful & truly blessed!

Wishing you all peace, friendship, and well-being!     Kris Johnson
