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.

What a wonderful learning environment Village Prep Cliffs campus is. Hundreds of students were treated to morning programs about kindness. They then came out to walk around the Kindness Bus to choose their favorite word or quote.
Thank you to Dean of Students, Jonathan Lubas for the invite to talk with the students at his school. It really was a special day.

Thank you to Ryan for coming out on his day off from school and helping to do some work on the house Bogart and I are working on. Ryan’s favorite quote on the bus is “be a hero to someone every day.”

Work needed to be done on the Kindness Bus, so Bogart had to remain behind today. He is patiently awaiting my return.

I had the afternoon available to visit the Baldwin Wallace campus in Berea, Ohio. Many wonderful conversations with students and a department head came out and told me their motto for this year is Kindness!

I am excited about the addition of these words of inspiration on the top of the Kindness Bus. People in second-story windows and above, helicopters, and possibly even the International Space Station will be able to view these wonderful words.

Friend, John Stratton who founded the Ashland Center for Non violence left this world for a place that knows no violence. It was a pleasure and an honor to have known him.
I will always miss the kindness of this wonderful man.
