Keahi was an inspiration to many. Always ready to bring a smile and whatever it took to get the job done. He was not afraid to start something new, whether it was to help a teammate or an entire neighborhood, nothing was too big or too small.
He inspired us to continue to bring some of that spirit every year when we hold a race in his memory, The Running Hawaiian 5K run/walk. The proceeds from this race go to a scholarship to benefit a senior at Socastee High school in Myrtle Beach, annually.
