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.

One of my favorite Thanksgiving prayers it’s by Ralph Waldo Emerson:
For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food,
For love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends

Thank you to Barb a former teacher from Seagate Elementary School in Collier County, Florida for flagging me down so I could meet her dog Jesse.
Barb has fond memories of our school programs and wished that Bogart had been with me to meet Jesse.
I love it when our school programs get the seal of approval from a teacher, counselor or principal.

One of our biggest fans, Morgan Tocco broke her hip two weeks ago. She and her mother Susanna and friend Zoe were having lunch when they spotted the Kindness Bus. We turned around and offered Morgan some comfort and presented her with a copy of Bogart’s new book: “It’s Always a Good Time to Make a New Friend”
Heal quickly Morgan!!!

The Swamp Buggy parade took place this in Naples, Florida. Loving a captive audience, I made sure the Kindness Bicycle got great exposure.
These cheerleaders from Lely high school in Naples, Florida did a cheer for the Kindness Bicycle as I rode by which prompted this wonderful photo. All schools should be bully-free, that was the consensus.
