If someone would have told me a few years ago that someday I would be the Director of a women’s motorcycle group, I would have said they were crazy. You see, a few years ago I was busy fighting for my life. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005 and the only thing I wanted to do was live. Well, I did accomplish that much and now I live to ride with the North Shore Women on Wheels. I decided that after cancer it was definitely my time to live.

I first became acquainted with the group through Ilene who is now the State Ambassador of WOW. She was set up at the Wilmington Bike Show trying to promote WOW. I immediately told my husband ‘this is what I want to do’. So I joined WOW in 2006. Little did I know at the time that WOW was a huge crusader for breast cancer research, well, that did it for me. I was in for life!

I have to say that I have never met such a great group of women. They are funny, carefree, loving and great riders. Riding with them is like a fine oiled machine. We move with grace, not too much speed and we have a lot of laughs.

I found these few lines in a magazine recently and it is so true….. We do not stop playing because we grow old… We grow old because we stop playing
