Six-year-old Vesper and her four-year-old brother Evan from San Francisco saw Bogart and he soon became the object of all their affection. Their grandparents loved the messages on Kindness Bus. #bostonterriers #sanfrancisco #kindness.
An 8 year ride for kids
Put an end to Bullying & Adolescent Suicide
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.

Virginia Tech, Ten Years Later
April 16th, 2017
Today is the 10th anniversary of the tragedy at Virginia Tech. It was because of that event that the One Million Acts of Kindness mission began.
With the original intent of traveling the country promoting Kindness for 10 years, it’s hard to believe that we have reached that length of time in such a short amount of time. I hope that makes sense to you.
This mission now has a ‘rest of my life’ timeframe. I hope I live well beyond 100 years of age.
