Emotional Love Story & Home Renovation Honoring Resilient Soulmates | George to the Rescue

In this episode of NBC's 'George to the Rescue': A heartwarming love story featuring an adventurous couple with disabilities who met during a competitive hand-cycling event and have been inseparable ever since, participating in numerous marathons together. And a jaw-dropping reveal of a time-sensitive primary bathroom upgrade that will help make life more comfortable for them as they take on some current health challenges one day at a time. 💙

Witness the triumph of the human spirit through Maria Bournias and her husband Peter Gagliardo — two inspiring soulmates, who together have weathered some of life’s toughest storms hand in hand — and an accessible bathroom makeover + soothing home sauna space by interior designer Vanessa DeLeon, contractor Albert Dichiara, and more talented contributors! Maria was born spina bifida and has had to endure many daunting surgeries throughout her life. She is currently battling a rare form of cancer but with her supportive husband Peter — who himself has overcome many obstacles after a motorcycle accident left him paralyzed at age 21 — by her side, she continues to trek forward with a courageous and loving spirit.
