Bo Jackson's fundraising efforts for tornado relief didn't end when he crossed the finish line of a 300 mile charity ride in Tuscaloosa. An online silent auction that continues through 9 p.m. is raising more money for the Alabama Governor's Emergency Relief Fund.

Bo Jackson's five-day charity ride took him from north Alabama at Lake Guntersville State Park through other tornado-ravaged areas of the state, including Cullman, Jasper and Bessemer before ending in Tuscaloosa.

The Bo Bikes Bama campaign had a goal of raising $1 million and is currently more than halfway to that mark with $503,813. The online silent auction offers all five of Bo's custom-made TREK bikes, signed sports memorabilia, vacation packages, artwork and more. So far, the highest bid is around $800 for a Bo Bikes Bama jersey signed and worn by Lance Armstrong.

CALHOUN COUNTY, AL (WBRC)- John Henry Arnold has few tangible reminders of his nine-year-old granddaughter Katelynn Arnold. At his Choccolocco home, Arnold pulls out two drawings the girl made for him.

"I wouldn't take nothing for these pictures," he said.

He also brings out a few photographs. One is a Christmas portrait of Katelynn, her mother, sister and brother. It is that brother that St. Clair County investigators say is responsible for the third grader's death. Arnold has a hard time believing that.

"Being a murderer. No, he's too loving. Loved to have fun and him and Katelynn got along good. So why would he do that?" Arnold said.

BIRMINGHAM, AL (WBRC) - One Pell City mother got exactly what she wanted for Mother's Day: her son home safe and sound after spending the past year in Afghanistan.

It was all Kim Ingram could do to keep herself composed at the airport in Birmingham. At any moment her son, Specialist Jonathan Wright, would be stepping off a plane and into her arms.

"I'm super excited," Ingram said. "I'm ready to have him in my arms. He's been over there for a year and I have worried the whole time. I'm just ready to get him, and grab him, and hug him, and not let him go."

It wasn't long until Ingram's Mother's Day wish came true. She began screaming before running and hugging her son. 

"I'm shaking, I'm so glad," Ingram said after seeing her son.

For Specialist Wright the attention was overwhelming to say the least.

"It just feels good to finally be home," SPC Wright said.
