Giving Back: Catalano started Scottsdale based No Women Left Behind in June of 2006. She started with an email to 14 gals. They now have over 250 women on the email list. The largest number of riders they have had is 24, with an average of 15 each week. The ride was created, because there were gals wanting to ride, but did not want to ride with the hammer heads on Saturday or during the week. Catalano believes the reason for their success – they stayed true why the group was created: to encourage, and support females that wanted to ride, learn how to ride in a group and did not want to get left behind.
