'It's Killing A Generation'

FEDERAL WAY - Five young men on a mission to raise money and awareness for AIDS traveled 12,000 miles, stopping in 40 cities.

Their last stop was in Federal Way at World Vision's headquarters.

So far, they've raised: $38,952 and counting. Their goal is $250,000.

"It's killing a generation and we want to change that and do something for them," says 18-year-old Nathanial Elliott.

On the refurbished bus they're driving, there are the words: "5 people die every minute."

So by the time you finish watching our news story about these young men on a mission, 10 more people will have died from AIDS.

The money they raise will be used to build schools in Zambia for children devastated by the disease.

Every stop along their journey, people wrote heart-felt notes on the bus: "Just remember, faith, hope and love. Keep on keeping on. You guys rock!"

And they do.

What a way to spend a summer. Making a difference.
