The State University of New York was a must-see while in Albany. Even though graduation has already taken place, I had wonderful connections with many people on or near this campus. #SUNY #RingOurCountryWithKindness #Kindness #Autism #DownSyndrome #Bipolar #Cerebralpalsy #Aspergers #Addictions #ADNPKids
Gunther, who has been sober for the past 19 years, was moved to tears when he saw that the Kindness Bicycle was being ridden for those with addictions. #Addictions #DownSyndrome #Autism #Bipolar #Aspergers #RingOurCountryWithKindness #Kindness
Teaching special needs students for the past 38 years, Greg from Brattleboro, Vermont couldn’t believe the Kindness Bicycle when he saw it. He’s letting everyone at his school know. #Autism #DownSyndrome #Bipolar #Aspergers #Addictions #Kindness
Padanaram, Massachusetts is a short 30 minute ride from Country Press, Bogart’s book printer. I had to stop by and go for a quick ride in one of the friendliest towns in the United States. #Kindness #BostonTerrier #Padanaram #RingOurCountryWithKindness #ROCK
I just picked up 300 more copies of each of Bogart’s two books. I had never met Mike Pinder and Dave, his general manager of Country Press in Lakeville, Massachusetts. After six years, it’s nice to put a face with the name. #Kindness #BostonTerrier #RingOurCountrywithKindness #ROCK
Four devoted teachers from Massachusetts who put an emphasis on helping those with special needs, stopped by the Kindness Bus today in Kennebunkport. They each left with two of Bogart’s books, to read to their students. #Kindness #Autism #DownSyndrome #BostonTerrier #Bipolar #Aspergers #Bullying
Thank you to the Frost family of Kennebunkport, Maine. All three boys are on the autism spectrum. Parents, Karleen and Mike have started a gift shop in this town to help local families who have children with special needs. #Autism #Aspergers #DownSyndrome #Bipolar #Addictions #Kindness

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.
