Actress and former Miss Hawaii, Kelly Hu will run the Honolulu Marathon on December 10. She is doing so as part of a fundraiser for Reef Check Hawaii, an organization designed to save coral reefs.

Her thoughts on the run and the organization? “I wanted to do something, particularly for Hawaii, and I’ve always been sort of worried about the environment in general,” she said. “Coming from Hawaii, you grow up with an appreciation of the ocean.” Her goal is to “finish some time before the benefit the following day.”
