Tommy Heffernan will walk from Hauula Elementary to Diamond Head to raise money for his daughter

HSA Note: "In a version of a walk-a-thon, Heffernan seeks to travel from Hauula Elementary School to the base of Diamond Head to raise money to pay for tuition at Variety School. Heffernan's 8-year-old daughter, Hilina'i, suffers from hypotonia, a condition that results in neuromuscular deficiencies, impacting speech and motor skills. Neurologists have recommended that Hilina'i enroll in Variety School, which specializes in students with special needs. She was accepted to the school, but the Heffernans can't afford the estimated $20,000 tuition."


About making this long walk to raise money for his daughter, Tommy Heffernan said:
"We go on walks daily. It's our time together. This walk is dedicated to her. We're trying to get her into that school." (HSA)
