Over the past five years, the Jamba Banana Man Chase has raised over $180,000 for MDA Hawaii thanks to people like Rill Paltrow and her racing team of supporters. “The Banana Man Chase is such an exciting race and I love that my friends can come together and have fun for a great cause. Being a client of MDA Hawaii and in a wheelchair myself, it is especially good to know that people of all abilities can participate in community events like this one,” said Paltrow.
