Nonprofit Corporation papers establishing the MMSF, Inc., were filed in May 2002, by a group of motorcyclists concerned with helping families of local riders killed and/or injured in accidents, and looking to promote motorcycle safety and awareness to reduce those accidents.

"Nelson's Ride" began as a tribute to Nelson and to aid his children's educational Fund, by Nelson's friends, families and others in August 2000, after his death in May of 2000. 
The Event was "chartered" as an American Motorcyclists Association (AMA) sanctioned Event, and has been each year.  < br>
After the 3rd Annual Nelson's Ride in year 2002, his family thanked organizers for their help with the kids scholarship Fund, asked us to stop donating money to that Fund, but to keep "Nelson's Ride" going each year and to help other local families of riders in similar need, and the motorcycle community has been doing that since.  "Nelson's Ride" was rolled into the MMSF as its Essex County signature Event.

In March 2004, the MMSF received its IRS nonprofit status.  

The MMSF is overseen by a Board of Directors, who all volunteer their time and talents.  Many area clubs, groups, organizations, businesses, government agencies, and individuals donate their time and talent to help may each MMSF Event successful and achieve its goals of helping families of downed riders.  Its truly a "Riders helping Riders" organization.
