Women’s motorcycle club raising breast cancer awareness through annual ride Sunday

The oldest women’s motorcycle club in Fayetteville is holding its 10th annual ride raising money for breast cancer this Sunday. It’s happening in conjunction with Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

The Special Delivery Motorcycle & Social Club is known for many things but chief among them is its spectacular annual breast cancer awareness motorcycle ride — and the members’ signature tutus that they bust out every October for the event.

“We want a way of getting people’s attention,” said Marcella Wiley, the executive officer of the club. “So what better way of getting someone’s attention than having a bunch of ladies in tutus ride a motorcycle through Fayetteville?”

The club started 20 years ago as a group of moms looking for friends and sisterhood. Since then, the group has grown into a Fayetteville institution. It began advocating for breast cancer patients a decade ago as the disease affected members.

“My mom passed from breast cancer, so I love that we do it every year,” said Felicia Wiggins.
