British social media creators Joshua Cauldwell-Clarke and Jason Riley, known online as Josh and Jase, visited Columbus, Ohio, this October as part of an ongoing tour across Big Ten campuses. The stop marked the duo’s first visit to the state.
The pair partnered with the Big Ten and Abbott for the “We Give Blood” competition, an initiative encouraging blood donations across conference schools. The creators are using their platform to spread awareness about donor shortages across the country.
Riley noted that the United States is facing a blood donation shortage and emphasized the importance of keeping supplies readily available for road accidents, childbirth complications, and unexpected medical emergencies. Cauldwell-Clarke highlighted that an individual blood donation can help save up to three lives, urging people to donate and help ease the strain on blood supplies.
During their stop in Columbus, Ohio, the duo visited Anthony Thomas chocolates to sample Buckeye candies before spending time on the Ohio State campus, where they visited Buckeye Donuts. The creators praised the welcoming reception and food they encountered during their travels through the Midwest.
Before arriving in Ohio, Cauldwell-Clarke and Riley visited Michigan and attended a game at Penn State. The duo plans to travel to Bloomington, Indiana, to attend the Ohio State vs. Indiana football matchup, with plans to return to Columbus, Ohio, at the end of November for “The Game.”

Labada dhalinyaro ayaa iskaashi la sameeyay maamulka Big Ten iyo shirkadda Abbott si ay kor ugu qaadaan tartanka dhiig-bixinta ee loogu magac daray “We Give Blood”. Barnaamijkan ayaa loogu talagalay in lagu dhiirrigeliyo dadka ku nool xarumaha waxbarashada ee tartankaas ku jira inay dhiig ku deeqaan, maadaama uu dalku wajahayo yaraan xagga kaydka dhiigga ah.
Jason Riley ayaa sharraxay in Mareykanka ay xilligan ka jirto dhibaato dhanka dhiig-bixinta ah oo aysan jirin sahay ku filan bukaannada. Wuxuu xusay in dhiiggu uu muhiim u yahay badbaadinta hooyooyinka foosha ku jira iyo dadka ku waxyeelooba shilalka gaadiidka, isagoo carrabka ku adkeeyay in qof kasta uu maalin uun u baahan karo kaalmo noocaas ah. Dhankiisa, Joshua Cauldwell-Clarke ayaa tilmaamay in hal qof oo dhiig bixiya uu badbaadin karo nolosha ilaa saddex qof, isagoo dadweynaha ku boorriyay inaysan dhibaatada u deynin dad kale balse ay tallaabo qaadaan.
Intii ay ku sugnaayeen Columbus, Ohio, labada dhalinyaro waxay booqdeen goobta Anthony Thomas chocolates halkaas oo ay markii ugu horreysay ku dhadhamiyeen shukulaatada Buckeyes. Waxay sidoo kale booqasho ku tageen xarunta jaamacadda Ohio State iyaga oo booqday goobta Buckeye Donuts, waxayna si weyn u ammaaneen sida diiran ee loogu soo dhoweeyay deegaannada Midwest.
Ka hor inta aysan soo gaarin Ohio, waxay soo mareen Michigan iyo ciyaar ka dhacday Penn State. Waxay sidoo kale qorsheynayaan inay u safraan magaalada Bloomington, Indiana si ay u daawadaan ciyaarta dhex mari doonta Ohio State iyo Indiana, ka hor inta aysan dib ugu soo laaban Columbus dhammaadka bisha November ciyaarta weyn ee loo yaqaanno “The Game”.
