FALMOUTH (AP) — Two pairs of Mainers are participating in an eight-day, cross-country car rally to draw attention to missing children.

Bill and Valerie Sowles of car dealer Morong Falmouth and Maine tourism director Carolann Ouellette and Tina Scheer from TV’s “Survivor Panama” left Maine on Wednesday. They’re headed for Independence, Ohio, for the start of a northeastern Fireball Run, a 15-city event that ends in Bangor, Maine.

Each team has been assigned a missing child, with a large decal featuring that child affixed to the team vehicle.
