9/11 Memorial Walk

July 21, 2006 - Teens on fund-raising walk to World Trade Center site

ROSSFORD, Ohio (AP) - Four suburban Toledo teens have set off on a 650-mile walk to Ground Zero in New York.

The boys from Rossford High School hope to arrive with at least a (m) million dollars in contributions for a Nine-Eleven memorial at the site of the World Trade Center, and another in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where United flight 93 went down. They'll stop at the crash location to donate 20 percent of what they raise.

So far, the group has collected five-thousand dollars.

The 17-year-olds where only 12 when the terrorists struck, but they say the horror of that day in 2001 has stayed with them.

Donations to the boys' memorial fund can be made by visiting www.myspace.com/groundzero2006 or calling 419-344-6528.)
