Running Strong for American Indian Youth
Running Strong for American Indian Youth, or just Running Strong, is a non-profit organization that was co-founded by Olympic Gold Medalist Billy Mills, along with Gene Krizek, founder of Christian Relief Services Charities. Running Strong, also known as American Indian Youth Running Strong, Inc., operates under the umbrella of Christian Relief Services Charities with the mission “to help American Indian people meet their immediate survival needs – food, water, and shelter – while implementing and supporting programs designed to create opportunities for self-sufficiency and self-esteem.”
== History ==
Running Strong for American Indian Youth was co-founded in 1986. by Gene Krizek, and Billy Mills (Oglala Lakota), the only American to have won a gold medal in the 10,000 meter race, which he won at the 1964 Toyko Summer Games. Mills, who is Running Strong’s national spokesperson, started the charity as a “giveaway” to give back to the community that helped him succeed, as per Lakota tradition. Mills was awarded the 2012 Presidential Citizens Medal by Barack Obama, the second-highest civilian award in the United States, in recognition of his service to help American Indian families through Running Strong for American Indian Youth.
Running Strong is governed by a five-member, Native American-majority Board of Directors.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Our Staff and Board )〕 Its work began primarily in the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, the Rosebud Indian Reservation, and the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation, all in South Dakota. Running Strong started its work with programs focused on food and nutrition, women’s health, education, and seasonal needs. Gradually, its services expanded to serve other American Indian communities.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mission & History )〕 However, Running Strong has continued to do much of its work on Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, as that is where Billy Mills grew up.
