Finding kindhearted people and making new friends is what truly makes a 165-mile walk around Maui enjoyable for Brian Sato, who completed the feat for the fourth time.
The 64-year-old Makawao man arrived at Baldwin Beach Park on Sunday morning, wrapping up a nearly two-week walk around the island. His treks benefit local nonprofits, with this year’s beneficiary his own employer, The Maui Farm, which provides transitional housing and farm-based, family-centered programs that teach essential life skills for self-sufficient living.
