Shane Hegde and Sanford Roberts decided to stop at the Greater Youngstown Italian Fest on Friday night to spread their message.

The college students are part of an AIDS-awareness program that has taken them from Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif., to Ohio.

They and five other students are bicycling across the nation to raise awareness and funds for those in need in Africa.
