In Memoriam - Online Memorial

In holding with the tradition of those we support, military, police and firefighters, all of whom have memorials for their fallen comrades, we at MAP wish to memorialize fallen riders.

We visualize a memorial plaza with a life size bronze sculpture of a motorcyclist giving a gift to a child, which exemplifies the charitable nature of the motorcycling community and will capture the freedom associated with the motorcycling lifestyle.
This memorial plaza will be a place of peace and solitude, in a park-like setting, available to anyone who wishes to visit.
The timeline for completion of this vision is entirely dependent on funding.

Names of those submitted, and those that we gather from other means, will initially be displayed on this web site and at a later time will become the focus of the physical monument.

An online memorial is a meaningful way to celebrate the life of a beloved family member, friend or fellow rider who has passed away. It is a forum to pay tribute to the departed and offer comfort to those left behind. We ask that you of the motorcycling family (brothers & sisters in the wind) please submit pictures and eulogies of those to be remembered to: map@reachawareness.org
(It is not necessary for a eulogy to be accompanied by a picture.)
We would like to offer a heart felt thank you to all who entrust us with their loved one’s memories.

* For now and the immediate future submissions will appear below until such time as we develop the web site further. *

Randy Scott -August 6, 1956 to May 1, 2004

This was my beloved husband, Randy Scott, He was killed when a driver, not paying attention, hit him head on. We enjoyed riding all over the United States and visiting many National Parks. It was the best time of my entire life. We met so many great and wonderful fellow bikers along the way!  The hole in my heart will not heal till I’m with him again in heaven.
Thank you.
