Maui’s ‘Lei of Aloha’ Honors Parkland’s School Shooting Victim on 21st Birthday

Olympic swimming hopeful Nicholas Dworet should have been celebrating his 21st birthday Wednesday, but instead family, friends and strangers honored the memory of the Parkland school shooting victim Hawaiian style at Lanikai Beach on Oʻahu. The ceremony featured hula dancing, a young Maui musician’s original song, a ¼-mile-long lei from Maui and a blessing from Hawaiʻi spiritual leader Kimokeo Kapahulehua.
