Watch GLSEN Board Member Sirdeaner Walker on
ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
Friday December 2nd at 8PM 

On April 6, 2009, Sirdeaner Walker and her family's lives changed forever because of the tragic loss of Sirdeaner's son, 11-year-old Carl Joseph Walker-Hoover.

For the past 2 ½ years, Sirdeaner has partnered with GLSEN to become a national advocate for anti-bullying protections in schools. As a member of GLSEN's National Board of Directors, she works tirelessly to ensure that every child is safe in school. Sirdeaner has traveled the country telling the story of the bullying and harassment Carl suffered at the hands of his peers and the failure of his school to intervene.

Tomorrow night, ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition comes together with the community of Springfield, Massachusetts, and GLSEN to give a new home and the sense of a fresh start to Sirdeaner Walker and her family. We hope you can tune in as the Makeover team works its magic on the Walker's house, pays tribute to Carl, and talks about the important work she is doing with GLSEN to honor his memory.

You can also participate in tomorrow night's episode and show your support for Sirdeaner and GLSEN bymaking a pledge at standtogether.tv, a website the Makeover team created with GLSEN to bring people together to support Sirdeaner's work.
