Sunday is the airing of their "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" episode...

The HQ, by its own admission, has its causes... and we know you have your own...
If helping out Jeremy and fighting ALS is up your alley...
Go here... it's the ALS-Georgia website...
You can donate in honor of the Williams family and their fight- or any fight closer to you...

The HQ can say first-hand that our lives have been changed for meeting the Williams family... and that's not one of those dime-store cliches...

Jeremy Williams "Move That Bus" Update: Donations Needed

((HT: WTVM-TV))

"Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" says this week the community has given so much to the Williams family, but more is still needed.

The Good News: The Williams family new home will be able to accommodate Jeremy's son, Jacob's, movements throughout the house in his wheelchair – the family still needs a wheelchair-accessible van.

The Better News ((Or the "Better Do It" News))

Extreme is asking each person in the community to give $1.00. To donate, go to www.extremephn.com and click on the Donate button.

The show hopes to have reached their goal by the time the family gets the keys to their new home on Saturday.

The money will also help the family pay off their current mortgage on their land.

Jeremy Williams "Move That Bus" Update

We're going to post what we can get out of Columbus, Georgia this week as Greenville High School ((GA)) head football coach Jeremy Williams and his family get their house demolished and, then, rebuilt as a modular home by Saturday's big reveal...

The old, moldy house with the bad foundation is now gone and the new, modular house is on its way...

Jeremy Williams: "Move That Bus!"

Those of us here at the HQ have chronicled one of the coolest guys we've ever come across in Greenville High School ((GA)) head football coach Jeremy Williams.

Williams and his wife, Jennifer, are battling ALS. They have two children, Josie and Jacob. Jacob, 6, is battling spina bifida and, probably, will never have life out of a wheelchair.

They just received word that as a part of the "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" program, they will be getting a complete redo of their house. The foundation is currently cracking, there are mold issues, and it isn't as handicapped-accessible as the house may need to be as the Williams continue their fight.

This week, the Williams family are spending time at the Adaptive Sports Center in Crested Butte, Colorado. While they're in Colorado, the house gets its redo.

Here are two elements detailing the first days of the change...

One from the Ledger-Enquirer newspaper on the army of local supplies that are heading to the Williams home...


And one from our friends at WTVM-TV in Columbus...


Here's Sonya Sorich's story from the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer...

Couldn't happen to a better family...
The reveal is scheduled for Saturday
