Ted and his two sons Tyler and Tristen loved the messages on the Kindness Bus and Bicycle. Ted was thrilled that this ride is representing children such as his sons. What a great dad.
Thank you to Jen who came over and had all sorts of praise for One Million Acts Of Kindness and the Ring Our Country with Kindness tour for those with special needs.
Thank you Steve for sharing your story about being diagnosed with aspergers at the age of 60. I will share your story with others who are in need of comfort because of their needs as I travel across the country.

One of the many hundreds of perks of being on the Kindness Bus for the past 8 1/2 years are the thank you notes and letters of inspiration from people who leave one of these handwritten notes for me.

Bogart took a much-deserved break this morning of relaxing and looking out of the porch scupper watching the world go by….before we headed out on the Kindness Bus for the day.
After six days of travel and over 1,700 miles logged in 90° heat every day, I took Bogart to the doggy toy store and let him pick out a couple of his favorite toys. I also picked up a six pack of his favorite gourmet, organic dog food

Eight years ago I met Radiance Mimi Burns and Steve Tyler from Fort Wayne, Indiana. Their daughter Mae loved sitting in the driver seat of the Kindness Bus. These pictures are from age two, age six, and 10 years of age today.

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.
