In 1983, Sue Slate & Gin Shear established the Women's Motorcyclist Foundation (WMF) to assist women in their pursuit of riding motorcycles. The Susan G. Komen Foundation has partnered with WMF in fundraising efforts. From 1993 - 2003, several motorcycle riding events were organized by WMF to raise money for the Susan G. Komen Foundation. WMF has raised over $2M in the fight against breast cancer.
The Pony Express Relay is a ride where riders solicit donations and ride either one leg/one day or participate in a week-long event. The Medallion is a vital component in this ride. The Medallion consists of 4 pieces -- a horseshoe for the future, a horseshoe for survivors, a ring of memory and the heart of the medallion. Each day, riders are selected to carry one piece of the Medallion. The Medallion is reassembled each day during the pass ceremony when the Medallion pieces are brought together as a whole once again.
