Massachusetts Motorcycle Survivors' Fund

In March 2007, a wife lost her husband and the motorcycle community lost a New Bedford firefighter, Brian Mello, in a tragic motorcycle crash. His widow, Elisa Mello, looking for someone to talk to about her loss, contacted the MMSF (Massachusetts Motorcyclists' Survivor's Fund). With their help, she turned her grief into forming the SEMMSF, Inc. (Southeastern Massachusetts Motorcyclist's Survivor's Fund) in 2008, since the MMSF dealt mostly with the North Shore area.

The SEMMSF, Inc. is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization that serves 98 Southeastern Massachusetts communities. This organization is not a club, there is no membership. It consists of a group of volunteers who's main goal is to assist victims of motorcycle accidents and their families. To provide assistance to the survivors can involve helping to pay expenses, or if needed, just a shoulder to cry on.

To do this, the SEMMSF holds an annual run in Brian's name. ..."Brian's Ride" (www.BriansRideFriends.org). The monies raised from this event go into the SEMMSF's operating fund. It is used for survivor benefits and to help promote safety and awareness in the motorcycle community. Over the last three years, people's responses have been wonderful and Brian's Ride gets better each year. The bigger the ride gets, the more people become aware of safety issues, and the more riders can help riders.

Support from various motorcycle groups and individuals is always welcome and needed. Businesses, especially those who have contact with the motorcycle community, are especially important, providing points of contact for collecting donations, promoting the survivor's fund and sponsoring events that directly help families in need. All ideas and suggestions are welcome, and can be sent to the Board of Director's on this site by clicking on "contact us" .
