University of San Fransisco

Friday, May 3rd, 2013

5-3-13I visited this hilltop campus during my ride today, to the interest of many of the students. Jonathan, a nursing student loved the thought of bully-free campuses across the country. He really connected with kindness as a goal playing a big part in people’s interactions.
Christian and Helen were at The Kindness Bus when I arrived. They are traveling the country trying to make a difference in the lives of as many people as possible. They see a huge need for compassion in today’s world.
Thank you for the kind words from Evelyn who is getting her Masters in Education and works with underprivileged youth.
It was another perfect day throughout all of San Francisco.

Around the World in One Thousand Eighty Days

Thursday, May 2nd, 2013

5-2-13In a couple of weeks, it will be two years since I started riding The Kindness Bicycle to address issues kids have to face at far too young an age.
The first ride was a total of 7,400 miles to raise awareness about Domestic Violence and Childhood Sexual Abuse. The second ride was a total of 4,400 miles for Heroes: Wounded Warriors and Police & Firefighters killed in the line of duty. This current ride to stop Bullying and Adolescent Suicide, I have  logged nearly 5,500 miles. I have now ridden over 17,000 miles for kids. My eyes are now on the circumference of the earth at the equator, about 25,000 miles.
Riding around the globe for kids. It probably will take one thousand eighty days. I’m in no hurry, I’ve got nothing but time when it comes to kids.

Double Dose of Kindness

Wednesday, May 1st, 2013

5-1-13I thought my eyes were deceiving me when I looked Bogart’s way to find newfound canine pal, Tiny Dot, laying next to him. Friends Rob and Sharon of San Francisco are looking after this good looking girl and Bogart has a friend to teach kind acts to for the next couple of days.
Today I stopped at Firehouse a Police Station and a couple of schools along my travels. I love connecting with safety forces, it is a carryover from my previous 4,400 mile ride.
Another day of kindness and gratitude on the books!
