Trace Adkins will be on ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition on Sunday, Oct. 18 at 8 p.m. ET helping to rebuild the home of a police officer who was shot on duty.

Trace went to Lancaster, Texas to meet Carlton Marshall, who lost most of his mobility and all of his hearing after being shot while leading a Dallas Police Department SWAT team. During the show, Carlton and his wife, Susan, a homicide detective, learn that their home will be rebuilt in seven days, solving structural and accessibility issues. The new home enables the Marshalls to continue their longtime volunteer work with horseback riding therapy for children and adults with mental and physical challenges. 

“I’ve worked with Extreme Makeover: Home Edition three times now and I personally feel that they’re doing God’s work,” says Trace. ”It’s such a noble thing that those folks do and anytime I get a chance to be a part of it and help out in some way, I’m always eager to do it. This experience was very emotional because all of his fellow police officers were there and the emotion on those tough guys’ faces – it was heavy. It was a beautiful moment.”
