“Dream no small dreams for they have no power to move the hearts of men.” Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Rob G. I drink water: Thanks for logging on. My name is Rob Landes, and my mother is Mary Landes. Together we are shaping a dream to support Multiple Sclerosis. Through the Tyler Hamilton Foundation, I have an opportunity to share my dream, and to support research for MS. For my 15th birthday, I got a 10-speed Schwinn. On that bike, I rode four miles to town, enjoying the attention when people asked “Did you really ride ALL THE WAY to town?” Four-mile rides eventually turned into longer rides, which have become my passion. Now my passion can support valuable dollars for MS research. How? I will ride across the ENTIRE US of A. On April 22, 2007, I dip a wheel of my bike in the Pacific Ocean and embark on a 32-day adventure that will end in the Atlantic Ocean. “Fast America” will cover over 3400 miles through 13 states.
