HONOLULU (KHON2) — Wednesday, Dec. 7 is the 81st anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

To commemorate this anniversary, the 50 for the Fallen 50 mile ruck march will honor Hawaii-based non-profit Ho’ōla Nā Pua and the work this organization does.

One-hundred percent of donations and proceeds will go to Ho’ōla Nā Pua in order to support its mission to end child-sex trafficking and exploitation.

The 50 mile ruck march will include the best of the best Active Duty and former Special Operations Forces along with celebrities, athletes and selected civilian locals.

The march will begin in Kane’ohe at 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 6. and will navigate the island to end at Pearl Harbor on Wednesday, Dec. 7 at approximately 6:30 a.m.
