Exhaust was in the morning air on Saturday as residents of Tallapoosa County and surrounding areas held a motorcycle rally to raise donations for Alexander City resident Terry Norwood, who is enduring a nine-year battle with lung disease.

Over 60 individuals suited up in leather and painted helmets gathered at the Charles E. Bailey Sportplex on July 30 to support their fellow biker and Alexander City resident with a “Two-Wheels and Trikes for Terry” ride to raise donations to help Norwood receive medical help to be put onto a waiting list for a double-lung transplant.

Norwood’s normal weekend pleasure for being out on the open road on his chopper has been drastically hindered by a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) diagnosis in 2013, which has weakened his lungs to the point of a need for not one transplant, but two, even through numerous treatments and lung cleanings.
