HONOLULU HI. —
Two upcoming HICN cruise night car show events, one on Feb. 20th at
Windward Mall, and another on March 27th at Hawaii Kai Towne Center,
will be held in part to help Nicholas Iwamoto.
Last year, Hawaii Kai resident
Nicholas Iwamoto was stabbed 18 times and thrown down Koko
Crater while hiking the popular trail. (Koko
Crater attack victim treads a long recovery road) His injuries have left him
with a lifetime of ongoing surgeries and an uncertain future of ever
fully recovering.
Prior to the attacks, which appear to have been randomly aimed at
hikers, Nicholas, 23, was a part-time student at Kapiolani Community
College and had applied to become a member of the Hawaii Army
National Guard. He was also a part-time auto detailer.
Donations to help the Iwamoto family with their medical expenses
will be accepted at both cruise night events and presented to
Nicholas Iwamoto by Hawaii Independent Cruise Nights founder and
president, Arnold Dowling at the Hawaii Kai Town Center show. Along
with announcements, flyers
will also be passed out during the event.
