Thank you to Michael, a very caring young man from Portsmouth, New Hampshire for stopping and visiting with me on his way to work this morning. What a beautiful angel. #DownSyndrome #Autism #AspergersSyndrome #Bipolar #ADHD #ADNPKids #CerebralPalsy #Kindness #Addictions
Amanda who has had cerebral palsy her entire life was in tears when she saw the bicycle I was riding and then saw the Kindness Bus. This woman has nothing but kindness in her heart, simply beautiful.
William, who has a 19-year-old son with autism was so moved when I rode by that he called me over to talk. He gave me a bottled water and a very soft hand towel compliments of the Taj Boston hotel. Oh my goodness, I’ve never felt a hand towel so plush. What wonderful red carpet comfort. #kindness #Autism #DownSyndrome #Bipolar #tajboston
The first parking space available in the city of Boston this morning for me just so happen to be in front of the Muriel Snowden International School which has an incredible special needs program. Nancy, the art teacher, couldn’t pass up the chance to check out the wonderful art all over the Kindness Bus. #autism #aspergers #Downsyndrome #bipolar #adhd #adnpkids #depression
Joey who is a graduating senior from Newtown High School is one of those individuals who is such a blessing to have in everyone’s life. He is doing many things to help others and is a role model to everyone in the Newtown/Sandy Hook area. Thank you Joey.
Many blessings and prayers for a very special educator, Sara Strait. She works with the fifth and sixth graders in the Newtown/Sandy Hook school system, offering more than her teaching skills for the children in her charge. This fifth grade class is the group of students who survived the Sandy Hook shooting on December 14th, 2012
It was such a pleasure meeting Emily in Old Greenwich. Later this year she is going to begin a nearly two-year journey around the world, raising awareness and helping others in need. Great job Emily!

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.
