Thank you Virgil for coming by and sharing the message on the Kindness Bus and my ride for children with disabilities with all your friends on social media. Virgil spent all that time he had walking around photographing the Kindness Bus from every possible angle. He is such a kind, caring young man who was full of compliments for my mission.
Hats off to Claire, she is involved in so many great things at her high school. Students helping others, including being a member of the Deaf Club on her campus and in her community. She is a big supporter of those with special needs.
Thank you to the Salvation Army in Vero Beach, Florida for the invite to learn of their mission in this community from the Director of Development, John Corapi. Children are serviced in so many ways because of this international organization which helps on a personal level community by community. #Autism #DownSyndrome #Addictions
Thank you to Julia for being such a good big sister to her brother Trenton who has autism. She is helping to guide him through many of the challenges in his life. He is glued to her hip the moment he comes home from school till the moment he goes to sleep. What a blessing she is.
Scott Van Duzer is a tireless advocate for children in the Treasure Coast area of Florida. He helps children in so many ways through his foundation. He makes donations to children in need with his time, cash and food. I had to most definitely include him in my stops in Fort Pierce. He makes a heck of a pizza pie too!

Bogart is my travel companion on The Kindness Bus Tour for the next ten years. We will be on the road traveling to campuses across the country. Bogart is a eight year old Boston Terrier. He is a great people dog... he loves meeting new people. I am Bogart's fourth owner in his short 8 years of life... Not because of him but because his three previous owner's lifestyles changed after they took him in... Lucky for me!! Bogart is the luckiest, most spoiled dog on the face of the earth. He loves the bus and he loves to travel. Please come and visit him when we are on your campus.
The Blue Bird Corporation donated this amazing bus to One Million Acts of Kindness, allowing us the continue this initiative. It has been painted to closely resemble the original Kindness Bus. It will last well beyond the ten years of this mission. A very big thank you to Blue Bird from Bob Votruba and Bogart too!!
The original Kindness bus has been donated to a professor at Virginia Tech who will use it on campus and at schools in the Blacksburg area. The Kindness Bus will continue to inspire and comfort residents, students and visitors in that area for years to come.
One Million Acts Of Kindness is a goal. A goal for each person to individually perform One Million Acts Of Kindness in their life. Can you imagine a greater goal for one's life? It is a constant mind-set of kindness every day of your life for the next fifty-five years. Doing for others and kindness in your heart for everyone. It is my wish that you will dedicate your life to a charity... finding the passion in your heart for something or someone in need.
As a father of three college age kids I am concerned for the world in which all kids will live. A great way to create a safer, more caring world is for everyone to start their lifetime goal of One Million Acts Of Kindness. So I bought a bus, had about sixty family members, friends and neighbors help paint it and began a ten year journey with my Boston Terrier, Bogart, to college campuses across the country hoping to convince as many of you as possible about this much needed movement for this world. I love you guys too much to sit back and not do anything about this. Let's start a kindness movement in this country today to change the direction this world is headed!! You are the change that this world needs.
