The Moto-Angel Foundation

Ride with us in memory of my mom, Anita Zaffke, killed May 2, 2009, in “The Nail Polish Crash” by a driver who was painting her nails while driving.

We will be kicking off MOTORCYCLE & BICYCLE AWARENESS MONTH and honoring all loved ones lost due to the negligent & reckless driving of other motorists in a massive SHARE THE ROAD RALLY after the ride.

————————————————–

In 2006, my mother embarked on her Epic Ride. By herself, she rode her motorcycle for 2 weeks + 5,000 miles, camping, writing her book + taking photographs the whole way, through Yellowstone, up the Oregon Coast through Seattle to Vancouver, BC & back home to Chicago.

She had so much fun on that trip, I can’t think of a better way to honor her & all loved ones lost under similar circumstances than with the biggest, most epic memorial ride + awareness rally ever!
