Hardin County, TN - Event coordinators for a charity motorcycle ride to benefit Anthony "Tank" Meeks reported a successful Saturday, June 19th, turnout.

"We had a great successful benefit for Anthony Tank Meeks!", said Tammy Hammock. "We want to thank all who helped to make this a great event: Pickwick Landing State Park employees, Hardin County Sheriff's Dept., Crump Police Dept., District Three Fire Dept., Bro Moffett, The Milledgeville Truck Stop, Scotts Hill Gas Station, Meo Mio's Restaurant, the Iron Warriors Motorcycle Club, the Riders, all the volunteers & the organizing committee & all that I failed to mention.

From the official website, http://tankmeeks.com/ , "Anthony suffers from ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). He is paralyzed from the neck down and on a ventilator and feeding tube. In September 2009, Anthony lost his TennCare coverage and with it his nursing care. All funds raised from this ride will be used to pay for Anthony's health care."
