The second annual Wheels and Wings Memorial Ride will be held tomorrow.
The ride helps raise awareness about drunk driving and honors the memory of Clayton Harsin, who was killed on his motorcycle after being hit by a drunk driver in August of 2014. The ride is $20 per vehicle with registration beginning at 8 a.m. Both a live and silent auction will be held at the National Guard armory at the conclusion of the ride, with all proceeds going to local first responders.
Clayton Harsin’s mother Michelle Harsin tells KNIA/KRLS News they have raised $10,314 but with the purchase of decals and extra t-shirt for the event currently they have $8,813 compared to $8,704 for all last year. Michelle says her goal is to give Marion County First Responders a check for $12,000.
Commemorative t-shirts will also be available for purchase during the event. Participants will gather at the Knoxville Hy-Vee parking lot, with the ride beginning at 10 a.m
