Two brothers from New Jersey stopped in their tracks when the Kindness Bicycle came into view.
Everyone should get this excited about kindness!
Any family, collectively, can perform One Million Acts of Kindness by the time the kids head off to college. Please have every member of your family get involved in a lifetime goal of kindness.
Two years ago, when Alex Sheen’s father passed away, Alex was inspired to honor his father by living the mantra his father embraced, keeping your promises, by always doing what you say you are going to do. Alex started a campaign called, “Because I Said I Would.”
I was able to meet with Alex at his Lakewood, Ohio headquarters. This incredible organization has now inspired millions of people to live by Alex’s dad’s mantra.

Back on US soil and ready to catch up on visiting family and friends, one of my first stops was to visit my sons, Alex and Peter. Bogart, for the first time was able to meet Toots, Peter’s dog. Toots, in her short two years, has had both rear legs medically repaired. She has been unable to play or run until today.
One of the greatest compliments I have ever received was from a woman in London who was walking by with her daughter while I was getting on the Kindness Bicycle for my daily ride. Interested in the large One Million Acts of Kindness logo on the back of my jacket, the girl asked her mom what the logo meant. The mother replied, “He is a man of peace.”
Monica and John of London are the owners of Happy a Norfolk Terrier. I spent a few weeks caring for Happy while her owners were away.
It was a joy to have a dog in my life while away from Bogart. This nine month old has been trained by Monica and John to do all sorts of fun tricks, my favorite is when Monica says “shy” and Happy lays down and covers her eyes with her paws.
Thank you to this caring, young couple for helping in a very HUGE way to make my visit to London much easier.

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.
