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.

Receiving many letters similar to this from a 13-year-old student, I realize that the world is being left in kind, caring hands. #Kindness #KindnessBus #OneMillionActsOfKindness #KindnessRocks

Sat next to Helen on her 99th birthday yesterday. I sang happy birthday to her and she got tears in her eyes. She’s had two Cleveland Indians World Series wins in her life!!! I told her she’s going to get number three this year. It was wonderful to witness the Indians win 12–5 on her birthday. Happy birthday Helen. #Indians #CleavlandIndians #ClevelandRocks #KindnessRocks #Birthday #Kindness #OneMillionActsOfKindness #KindnessBus #WorldSeries

Tammy said she wishes her mom could see the words on the Kindness Bicycle. She said seeing someone ride to raise awareness for addictions could have an impact on many peoples lives including the life of her mother. #DownSyndrome #Autism #ADNPKids #Bipolar #Aspergers #Cerebralpalsy #Addictions #Depression #Bullying #ADHD #Bostonterrier #Kindness #RingOurCountryWithKindness #OneMillionActsOfKindness

Thank you to WEWS-TV 5 in Cleveland, Ohio reporter Lauren Wilson and cameraman Dave Hatala for spending so much time with me for a news article which will play on all their broadcasts tomorrow. I find it amazing that during the filming of this piece, a Down Syndrome angel named Beau and his mother, Staci just happened upon us.

Suicide Is Never the Answer

Bethany Thompson took her life because of bullying. This should never happen in our world. Her mother, Wendy Feucht came to Yellow Springs, Ohio to talk with me about the Ring Our Country with Kindness ride for children with disabilities and differences. This ride is in honor of Bethany with the desire of helping others who are having challenges in their lives.

Bogart loved the Pledge of Kindness at the Yellow Springs CCC today. What a fun way to teach children to be kind at a young age.
