Today for my 31 Days of Women in Motorcycling I'm turning the spotlight on this dynamic duo, Sue Slate and Gin Shear. Wherever you go in motorcycling, they seem to be there, which is great, because they're fun, dynamic, and seriously dedicated to a really good cause.
Sue and Gin founded Women's Motorcyclist Foundation, Inc. as a charitable/educational foundation. Not only has it raised in excess of 2.3 million dollars for breast cancer research, WMF Inc. also provides a Red Cross course, teaching CPR and First Aid Courses to Scout Troops, motorcycle clubs, and MSF coaches.
Both Gin and Sue have taught for Learn2Ride in Rochester, NY since 1992. Furthermore, Sue works with Riders of Kawasaki for Kawasaki Motor Corp., U.S.A. at outdoor rallies and events.
Each woman enjoys not only road riding, but also track days and dual sport riding. Two of WMF, Inc. signature programs, "On Track for a Cure" and "Adventure for the Cures," wed fundraising with rider education. These programs are designed to give to the greater good plus enhance skills and enlarge the number of opportunities for riders when it comes to life on two wheels.

And here's a great story Genevieve Schmitt, Editor of WomenRidersNow.com, wrote about a life-changing ride with them last year: A Ride to Change Your Life: Yes, Really!
