Kearney to walk Cincinnati to Columbus

State Sen. Eric Kearney, D-Cincinnati, plans to walk from downtown Cincinnati to the Statehouse in Columbus over four days.

Kearney is well aware that it’s 102 miles and it would be easier to drive. He is doing it to raise awareness of children’s health issues, particularly childhood obesity, hunger and infant mortality. Kearney is sponsoring a bill in the Senate to ban junk food in vending machines in Ohio schools.

“My goal is to get families moving and thinking about food choices,” Kearney said. “This walk is a fun way to make others aware of the health problems children are facing.”
