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.

Alzheimer’s

Losing a father and a sister to Alzheimer’s, Bogart and I were joined by my sister to walk in Oberlin, Ohio to help put an end to this disease.
What a nice crowd of people on a perfect autumn day in Northeast Ohio.

 

Peace on Top

Wanting to finish off the top of the Kindness Bus just like he did with the original bus, my son Peter is making sure “peace” can be seen throughout the universe. I certainly hope it has that effect.

Much Needed Break

When you love what you do, you don’t necessarily need to take much of a break. It has been 7 1/2 years since I started One Million Acts of Kindness and have never gone away on a vacation longer than a day or two. This week I decided to do just that. I completely relaxed for an entire week to regenerate my batteries. I loved it’s so much I might try it again in a year or two.

Bogart Phone Home

This E.T. inspired photo I just could not resist. My cousin’s family outgrew the stuffed animals in this photograph, they donated them for me to hand out along my travels to children in need of comfort.
What a great way to spread kindness to others, especially to the youngest of society who have very little in their lives.

A Little Local Press

September 14th, 2016

I love getting press no matter the audience size or location of the article in the newspaper or on television. Sometimes a little local paper, because of it being a weekly, creates a lasting impression on the newsstand for all to see.
This great yard sign that I posed with once before, was picked up by a local newspaper. It was great press from the reaction I had from residents of this town.

Happy Birthday Bogart!
