He said he has family members living in Maui and most of them lost their homes and jobs in the fire.
“This walk is to raise awareness for the Lahaina fires, I have 15 family members who were directly affected, they all live on Maui, most of them in Lahaina, and they’ve had their homes burned down. So I decided to walk 100 miles to raise money for them,” he said.
