Coast-to-coast runner makes a stop in San Bernardino - Redlands Daily Facts

John Radich has harbored a wish to run across the United States since high school, and he's got a good start.

He reached San Bernardino on Tuesday with at least 75 miles behind him already, and he'll be headed up Cajon Pass this morning with a couple of runners from San Bernardino.

"It will take me two months to reach Chicago and then on to Atlantic City to dip my toes in the ocean as I did in the Pacific," the Monrovia man said.

Radich used to live in Muscoy and ran frequently in Lytle Creek.

The purpose of the run is to help kids and keep them out of gangs, Radich said. His run is under the auspices of The Way to Happiness Foundation, which is based on a book by L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of the Church of Scientology.

Although he is a Scientologist, Radich said "the run has nothing to do with Scientology."

Radich began the run at the Santa Monica Pier and is following old Route 66 all the way to its end in the Windy City.

"From Atlantic City, it will be on to New York and then if I still have the horses I will end up in Washington at the Vietnam Memorial," Radich said.

"If everything goes well, it will take 3 1/2 to 4 months. I expect to average 35 to 40 miles a day - at least 30," the runner estimated.

"The foundation gets kids involved. I'll be connecting with youth groups along the way," Radich said, admitting that he is in it for the recognition. "Making good works known" is part of the

foundation's philosophy, he said. You can check it out online at thewaytohappiness.org.

 Why is it each time a scientologist attempts to do something on a humanitarian level he or she feigns its relationship to the so called church?

 

Although he is a Scientologist, Radich said "the run has nothing to do with Scientology."

 Do these individuals not know a large cross section of society understands that many of these so called scientology related entities are inextricably tied at the hip to each other?
