News Nearby: Madison Family's Home Gets 'Extreme Makeover'

Volunteers help "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" make a Madison family's dreams come true.

Much progress is being made at a construction site in Madison where the design crew of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," local builders, and volunteers are constructing a new home for Anaiah Rucker and her family.

Rucker is credited with earlier this year, but injuring herself in the process. The family was surprised on Sunday and sent on a vacation to Walt Disney World. 

Though it has been a week of extreme temperature, the spirits of the volunteers in Madison are as high as the temperatures. Pictures demonstrate that they are hard at work despite the heat.
