I visited the Arc of Lane County, Oregon yesterday. These beautiful angels and their caregivers were so happy to see such a unique bike roll up to their door. Thank you to everyone who made this visit possible. #DownSyndrome #Autism #ADNPKids #Bipolar #Aspergers #Cerebralpalsy #Addictions #Depression #Bullying #ADHD #Kindness #Bostonterrier #KindnessBus #KindnessBicycle #RingOurCountryWithKindness #OneMillionActsOfKindness
Because of her addictions, Allan’s 38-year-old daughter is in a very bad way. She has been in prison on and off since she was 20 years old. He is sending a picture of these words, written on the back of the Kindness Bicycle, to her, with the hope it may help her and possibly save her life or someone just like her. #Addiction #DontDoDrugs #KindnessBicycle #Kindness
Raisa came over to the Kindness Bicycle with a boatload of joy and excitement, beaming from ear to ear at the sight of such a bike. From the high-fives and stories that were shared it is clear that there is a bright future of kindness ahead. Thank you to mom, Stasia for joining in with well-wishes. #DownSyndrome #Autism #ADNPKids #Bipolar #Aspergers #Cerebralpalsy #Addictions #Depression #Bullying #ADHD #Kindness #Bostonterrier #KindnessBus #KindnessBicycle #RingOurCountryWithKindness #OneMillionActsOfKindness
We just met Katie from Chicago. She is a huge dog lover and certainly showed Bogart all kinds of love. She told me she was born with epilepsy and that they were going to go down right away and see the Kindness Bus and get one of the fliers for the ride to raise awareness for those with special needs. I told her to make sure to get some stickers. I would love to send her a copy of both of Bogart’s books because she is such a huge dog lover. I just need someone to send me an address. You are a beautiful angel Katie, thank you for being so kind.
Bob and Bogart too! #Epilepsy #DownSyndrome #Autism #ADNPKids #Bipolar #Aspergers #Cerebralpalsy #Addictions #Depression #Bullying #ADHD #Kindness #Bostonterrier #KindnessBus #KindnessBicycle #RingOurCountryWithKindness #OneMillionActsOfKindness

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.
