I love swinging through northeast Ohio and checking in with family and friends. Three generations of the Blake family couldn’t have looked any better sporting their new One Million Acts of Kindness apparel.
An 8 year ride for kids
Put an end to Bullying & Adolescent Suicide
Put an end to Bullying & Adolescent Suicide
In year 3 of this mission, I introduced a bicycle ride to my travels to raise
awareness about issues kids are having to deal with at far too young an age.
Bullying and Adolescent Suicide are two of these challenging burdens most kids
will unfairly have to overcome throughout the remainder of their lives. At rides
end we will have ridden enough miles to traveled the perimeter of the earth, twice.
My mission on this ride has but one focus: To save kids lives.

One of my favorite stops across this great country is a wildlife refuge in New Jersey. Kelly Simonetti who founded this safe haven for a cornucopia of recuperating creatures gives these beautiful animals a second chance at life through the loving hands of Dr. Karen and an army of volunteers. This place always puts a huge smile on my face. From Bogart meeting Sara Lee the pig to reading the words of one of my new books “Bogart Makes Breakfast in Bed for Himself” to the children of Discover Nature, I will carry these fond memories and many more for years to come.

“Keep Doing What You’re Doing, Uncle Bob, It’s Making a Difference.”

Most of my children’s friends know me as Uncle Bob. It is so enjoyable to cross paths with them as I travel the United States. They have grown into caring young adults. Melanie, pictured in today’s blog is a friend to all three of my children. She paid me a wonderful compliment. It is the title of this blog.

Batter Up !!!

With summer winding down, it was an honor to take my nephew, Mason to a Cleveland Indians baseball game. Usually soft spoken and quiet, he was a chatterbox, wanting to know an assortment of everything. We even had a talk about drugs and the importance of being a role model to all the kids in his school and neighborhood by never using drugs and recommending to his friends the same ideals.
