Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and the Gilyeat Family From Kansas City
We couldn’t be in the State of Kansas without Ty Pennington riding along a dusty dirt road on a bike like Dorothy had in the Wizard of Oz, could we? Ty even had Toto in his bike basket as he rode along telling us about tonight’s episode. Ty told the design team about how Daniel Gilyeat, a decorated U.S. marine and a loving father to his four children, was out on a mission when a bomb hit his truck when he was on a tour of duty in Iraq. He suffered major injuries and lost his left leg above the knee. Despite these setbacks and personal battles, 25 days after losing his leg, Daniel was up and walking with a prosthetic leg, and inspiring other wounded soldiers by visiting them in the hospital and speaking with their families. Visit RealityTVMagazine.com to see what the show did for this great family!
