Victim of Hawaii wildfires runs Chicago Marathon to raise money for his community
CHICAGO -- Race weekend is nearing and tens of thousands of runners are getting ready for 26.2 miles on their feet. Getting through that takes some serious motivation. CBS 2's Noel Brennan met one runner who finds that motivation more than 4,000 miles away from Chicago. 'New York was my first marathon,' said Nate Kahaiali'i. 'I'm doing Tokyo in March.' Kahaiali'i will run his first Chicago Marathon on Sunday.
'It hits you like a brick because you don't prepare for things like this,' he said. 'No one really does. I've never cried so hard in my life before.' Before he left to evacuate, he grabbed his running shoes, knowing hed need them in Chicago, where he'll find renewed purpose in each step. 'They're the only thing I saved from my home, so it's a little more, these shoes mean a little more to me,' he said.
