Why we race
When it comes to Hawaii, there’s more than meets the eye. Substance abuse is a major problem on the islands, particularly among the youth. Hawaii hosts the highest rate of methamphetamine use and one of the highest rates of suicide in the nation, with one of the lowest resources available to communities.
Drug and alcohol addiction is devastating our culture, community, and our youth. We’ve watched it kill people we love and those close to our hearts. This event was created to shed light on the problem and begin to heal our community.
