What would it take, for you to dedicate the rest of your life to a charity? Having a tragedy like the one in Haiti is inspiring millions of us to want to do something. Half of us say we will give money to help the cause. It is a much-needed resource, which will provide revenue to purchase necessary life saving essentials. Most of us are torn by not being to be able to do something first hand. Some of us will do something life changing about it. Most of us will not. It usually takes an event, a big event, for people to decide to dedicate their life to charity work. Will this be that event for you? What will you witness out of this tragedy that will reach your very core? The images and voices you witnessed on TV were those of a person crying out to you. Start that journey of living a life of doing for those in need today. This is your starting line.
Please help us spread our message of a Goal of Kindness to schoolchildren across the country. Your donations are crucial to making this a reality.

Bogart is my travel companion on The Kindness Bus Tour for the next ten years. We will be on the road traveling to campuses across the country. Bogart is a eight year old Boston Terrier. He is a great people dog... he loves meeting new people. I am Bogart's fourth owner in his short 8 years of life... Not because of him but because his three previous owner's lifestyles changed after they took him in... Lucky for me!! Bogart is the luckiest, most spoiled dog on the face of the earth. He loves the bus and he loves to travel. Please come and visit him when we are on your campus.
The Blue Bird Corporation donated this amazing bus to One Million Acts of Kindness, allowing us the continue this initiative. It has been painted to closely resemble the original Kindness Bus. It will last well beyond the ten years of this mission. A very big thank you to Blue Bird from Bob Votruba and Bogart too!!
The original Kindness bus has been donated to a professor at Virginia Tech who will use it on campus and at schools in the Blacksburg area. The Kindness Bus will continue to inspire and comfort residents, students and visitors in that area for years to come.
One Million Acts Of Kindness is a goal. A goal for each person to individually perform One Million Acts Of Kindness in their life. Can you imagine a greater goal for one's life? It is a constant mind-set of kindness every day of your life for the next fifty-five years. Doing for others and kindness in your heart for everyone. It is my wish that you will dedicate your life to a charity... finding the passion in your heart for something or someone in need.
As a father of three college age kids I am concerned for the world in which all kids will live. A great way to create a safer, more caring world is for everyone to start their lifetime goal of One Million Acts Of Kindness. So I bought a bus, had about sixty family members, friends and neighbors help paint it and began a ten year journey with my Boston Terrier, Bogart, to college campuses across the country hoping to convince as many of you as possible about this much needed movement for this world. I love you guys too much to sit back and not do anything about this. Let's start a kindness movement in this country today to change the direction this world is headed!! You are the change that this world needs.
My “starting line” was when my youngest brother, Ricky, was killed on a Minnesota highway in 1969. It was life changing in a number of ways, and took decades to work through to the point of having even a fuzzy idea of how to proceed.
Now, things are beginning to come together. The website and blog are venues for sharing ideas on ways to improve traffic safety, and my Zazzle store is a way to distribute bumper stickers and t-shirts that encourage folks to drive gently and kindly.
If we regard “road peace” as a step on the road toward “world peace,” imagine how many acts of kindness each driver might achieve each day!

As you might guess, “kindness” plays a big part.
