This Sunday, August 18th: The 14th Annual Nelson’s Ride

This Sunday, August 18th, is the 14th Annual Nelson’s Ride event to benefit The Massachusetts Motorcyclists Survivor’s Fund. The ride will begin and end at Cycles! 128 in Beverly Massachusetts. (Click here for directions, ride route, and schedule of events.)

The Massachusetts Motorcyclists Survivor’s Fund (MMSF) is an all volunteer non-profit organization. We raise money to help local families of riders killed or seriously injured in accidents and promote motorcycle safety and awareness to help reduce accidents, injuries and fatalities. (see our websites: www.massmsf.org, or www.ridershelpingriders.org or www.bikershelpingbikers.org)

Nelson’s Ride is an annual slow motorcycle ride in memory of Nelson Selig, Sr., who was killed in a motorcycle accident on May 2, 2000, leaving behind a wife, two children, two sisters, his mother, his step father, and many good friends.

The annual fundraiser began in August 2000, and was intended to make one of Nelson Sr.’s dreams come true: to send his children to college. That dream was accomplished, and in 2003, Nelson’s widow Felicia requested that our Team begin helping other local families of riders killed in accidents with the funds.

Nelson’s Ride is one of the Survivors Funds’ largest fund raising events.
