On this Veterans Day, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to the many veterans who call Hawai‘i home. You have given so much to protect our freedoms and uphold the values that define us as a nation. Your service and sacrifice go beyond words, and we feel the impact of your courage and commitment every day in our communities. Today, we honor not only your past service but also the strength, resilience, and aloha you bring to Hawai‘i. From the bottom of my heart, mahalo nui loa for all that you have given and continue to give.

Today at the Hawai‘i Walk & Roll to Cure ALS, I was honored to join you all as Governor, as a physician, and as a proud member of the ALS community. My commitment to this cause is deeply personal, as I lost my hānai aunt to ALS. Together, we walk not only in memory of loved ones but to stand united with all who continue this courageous fight. The funds raised here directly support the ALS Network’s mission: providing care, advancing research, and advocating for a better quality of life for those impacted by ALS.
The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge became a global movement in 2014, and today, the spirit of that campaign lives on through our commitment to find prevention strategies, treatments, and—one day—a cure. Each step we take today, each story shared, fuels progress and hope. The ALS Network has invested over $15 million in research, and thanks to your support, they’ve provided hundreds of grants, vital medical equipment, and increased outreach by over 500% right here in Hawai‘i.
So, as we celebrate the 12th anniversary of Hawai‘i’s Walk & Roll to Cure ALS, take a look around at the faces beside you—each a testament to resilience and the power of community. Together, we are making history and working to ensure that no family, no individual, has to face ALS alone. Mahalo for being a part of this journey and for helping build a future where ALS is just a memory.

We’re kicking off the inaugural Hawai‘i High School Girls Flag Football season. Today, we’re opening doors for young women across Hawaiʻi, and I couldn’t be prouder. This new program exemplifies our commitment to gender equity and to providing equal opportunities for all keiki to compete, grow, and succeed through sports. We thank the donors who made this historic season possible, particularly the Las Vegas Raiders, who contributed $25,000, along with other supporters including the National Football League, the Seattle Seahawks, Nike, Hawai‘i Medical Service Association, Hawai‘i Dental Service and Marcus Mariota’s Motiv8 Foundation. With this new program, we’re encouraging young women to develop skills and friendships that will benefit them throughout their lives. To all the young women who will be competing this season, know that we’re rooting for you. This is your moment, and we’re all excited to watch you succeed on the field.
