Memphis Rodder, Eddie Wilbanks, is in the fight of his life with stage 4 cancer. Now is the time to give back to a man who has given so much to the automotive community in the Memphis area. Eddie has helped so many from motorcyclists, to drag racers, to circle track racers, to dirt track racers, and hot rodders alike in his 80 years on this planet. Eddie left a successful career a long time ago to pursue his passion for helping his friends in the industry. 

Along the way, Eddie developed many major technological breakthroughs that he never received credit for. Instead, he just enjoyed the challenge and kept on welding, fabricating, and machining parts for so many in the Mid-South. If you’ve ever had work performed by Eddie, you know he never asked enough to match his talent. Because he has always worked on his own, Eddie doesn’t have insurance or a large financial cushion to fall back on. 

 We are setting up this GoFund so that everyone can help Eddie and Betty in this time of need. Eddie is not the type of guy who would ever ask for help, but we MUST help him. We’re asking for everyone to give what they can to show their appreciation for a guy who always has a smile on his face, is always joking, never says a cross thing about anyone, and lives life to the fullest. This fund was set up by his long-time friend Larry Nolan to reach out to the car community to support his friend - all proceeds will go directly to the Wilbanks’ to allow them to stay comfortable at their home. Any denomination you can afford to donate is greatly appreciated, more than you know!
