I had the pleasure of meeting and being inspired by Bob Votruba this past summer here in NYC as he continued his journey in spreading kindness throughout the country. His story is amazing…he quit his job, sold everything, and travels the country speaking at schools about acts of kindness, school and cyber bullying and adolescent suicide.  You can learn more about him and his mission at One Million Acts of Kindness. 

This year his mission is to ride the Kindness Bus and his Kindness Bicycle around the perimeter of the United States to honor three students that were killed in his own hometown in Ohio as well as three young adults who also took their lives.  He estimates it will take a year and plans to return to NYC in October of 2013 where this particular ride started.   His mission?  To save kids lives.

One million acts of kindness?  Surely, we can each reach for 26.
