A new record was also set when the annual motorcycle ride that coincided with the event saw over 1500 riders make the trip from Columbia, TN to Riverfront Park in Nashville to show support.<br \/>\n&#8220;Whether you have a kid or not,\u201d Bentley continued, speaking about his own experiences with child health conditions, \u201cwhen you go to a children&#8217;s hospital and you see what good they do, it moves you.\u201d<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"PTStuMusic&#038;Miles1.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/forum.belmont.edu\/health\/CHSimages\/PTStuMusic%26Miles1.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"248\" \/><br \/>\nTo see more photos for this event go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/album.php?aid=124371&#038;id=98376681526\">our Facebook page linked here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite heavy class loads, Belmont Physical Therapy students were still able to find time again this year to volunteer for the Dierks Bentley Miles and Music for Kids benefit concert.
