We're Celebrating 10 Years of Kindness for Kupuna! Meet the Henningers. Robert Henninger came to Hawaii in 1960 with his wife, Rosemarie. He started up his own audio company serving stores like the old Liberty House. Rosemarie taught kindergarten at Mokapu Elementary. At the young age of 60, Robert decided to take up jogging. He and his friends started the Over the Hill Gang, a group of seniors who loved to run. Robert was an incredible runner and at age 80, ended up winning a US National Championship in his age division. At age 85, Robert completed his last Honolulu Marathon, finishing ahead of thousands of runners. Now both 92, Robert and Rosemarie aren’t able to drive to the supermarket or prepare their own meals. That’s where Lanakila Meals on Wheels provides much needed support. For four years, volunteers have delivered nutritious meals each week, allowing Robert and Rosemarie to stay in the home they love and maintain their independence for as long as possible. When you support Lanakila Meals on Wheels and The Good Table event, you are supporting amazing people like the Henningers. Thank you for being kind to our kupuna.
