Video! J.R. Martinez Reaches Out to Burn Survivors in New PSA

October 10, 2011 Stars Give Back

While taping an upcoming episode of "Dr. Drew's Lifechangers," burn survivors J.R. Martinez and Jenna Bullen found each other -- and were inspired to pay it forward.

With the help of "Extra," they are reaching out to fellow burn survivors through a public service announcement for the Phoenix Society, airing exclusively on "Extra" Monday (check local listings for stations and times).

Watch the PSA here!

Martinez, now a contestant on "Dancing with the Stars," was nearly killed when his Army jeep hit a land mine in Iraq -- the accident burned over 40 percent of his body. Jenna Bullen was only 3 years old when a garage fire burned 95 percent of her body.

Their inspirational stories and personal life changes will air on "Dr. Drew's Lifechangers" on Tuesday, October 18 at 3:00pm on The CW.
