An 8 year ride for kids

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.

Thank You James

10-28Thank you to James, a Navy veteran with PTSD. James has been a big help in so many ways to the kindness mission. Most recently, James helped to transport everything I will need off the Kindness Bus, while it is being repaired for the next week. #BostonTerrier #Kindness #PTSD

Did a fun evening ride just north of New Orleans a couple of nights ago. I usually don’t ride at night but the area had some great sidewalks and safe areas.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Mississippi, much too short however but will have to get back there again in the upcoming year or two. It is all about the people. We met so many kind, caring individuals. Everybody loved Bogart.

Shatalya is visiting Nashville from New York City for the Dove Awards. She sings some amazing gospel music and was here to do some performing as a chorus singer with Reba McEntire. She came upon the Kindness Bicycle and Kindness Bus and I caught her snapping a picture of the “someone needs you” panel on the rear of the bike. Thank you for the kind words Shatalya.

Bogart and I visited Cunningham Park in Joplin, Missouri,  the site of one of the deadliest tornadoes in US history. The loss of life was staggering, with 161 deaths and over 1,000 people injured.
