LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Patrick Dempsey is heading to “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.”
This weekend, the Marshall family, one of the families set to appear on an upcoming episode of “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,” will travel to Maine, to meet the “Grey’s Anatomy” star as he hosts the Dempsey Challenge. The Dempsey Challenge raises funds for the Patrick Dempsey Center for Cancer Hope & Healing at Central Maine Medical Center, which assists cancer patients and caregivers with support and education.
Patrick founded the center in 2008 in response to his mother’s multiple bouts with ovarian cancer.
Jay and Elena Marshall, and their children, including 9-year-old Cameron, who was diagnosed with leukemia, have also played a role in raising cancer awareness and raised thousands of dollars for Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth.
In addition to meeting the handsome TV doc and real-life do-gooder, “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” is building the Marshall family a brand new home from the ground up. The family is also being sent to Walt Disney World.
