I was so honored to be able to meet with the great team at the Kindness Offensive in London, that I had to go back one more time. They had had an outing the night previous which lasted well into the early morning hours. I arrived before they woke but found that seeing the Kindness Bicycle on their front porch made for a beautiful photo. Our missions have a good deal of overlap and we will be in touch over the long haul. I can’t wait to return, three years from now.
A very big thank you to Sarah and daughter Sophie of Margot London, for the huge helping hand in lodging while in Crouch Hill. There are wonderful people throughout my travels. Thank you Sarah and Sophie.
Visiting north London has been one of my favorite stopping off points during my stay in the UK. Crouch End is one of those places. The neighborhoods bustle with all sorts of wonderful people. The Nicholson family has been a huge help during my stays here.
Thank you Jonathan, Chris, Imogen and Flora for your huge acts of kindness and generosity.
The words on their website sum up perfectly, what their objective is:
Our aims are to have fun, be kind and inspire as many people as possible to do the same. Performing both small and large-scale Random Acts of Kindness is what we do.
It’s a great privilege to be able to work together with so many kind volunteers, companies and charities to make so many people happy.
Thank you to, David, Rob, James, James and James for making me their guest of honor and for presenting me with a kindnessOffensive gold medal for service.
Suliaman and Sam along with a much larger contingency of boarders stopped doing their ariels, at this north London park to find out about the Kindness Bicycle. There has been a big interest amongst teens all across London in these messages. The need for them is the same across the globe.
Malee and Chelsea from Thailand came halfway around the world to see their “favorite thing in London thus far.” The Kindness Bicycle is certainly having a global impact.
Perhaps all world leaders should be forwarded the importance of its messages.
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.
