To offset so much hatred in the world, Bob pledged to himself to commit a million acts of kindness.

He bought an old 1990 school bus, invited others to join him in painting that bus with inspirational sayings, and then with his little rescue dog Bogart, began driving across the U.S. to commit those acts of kindness.

For eight-years, Bob has been visiting schools, companies, churches and other venues to appeal to numerous people. His goal is to stop bullying and related adolescent suicides.
