Can any of you please help this pair of peace activist teens?

[SaveAmerica]

They're coming through Ohio on their way to Washington in a few weeks, they've walked from Cali and their goal is to be in DC by September 11. If you or anyone you know in Ohio is involved in any Democratic groups, maybe you can walk part of their route with them? Bring them some food along the way or any kind of help you can give them to help them reach their goal (sunscreen? new shoes? $5? every little bit helps). I really think it would boost their morale to have others walking with them, though. Many groups can tag team walks with them through the different counties of Ohio - thanks everyone!!

4. about organized groups in the area

I am sure they are out there, but I don't know who they might be,
I am a little ways from Columbus.

They need groups / events along the I-70 corridor
