TARA LLANES FEATURED ON ACCESS HOLLYWOOD

Pro mountain bike racer and Giant for Women Ride Society leader Tara Llanes is to be featured on the television program, “Access Hollywood.” The segment about Tara is scheduled to air on the nationally-syndicated television show on Wednesday December 26, 2007.

A former X-games and US National Champion and a World Cup medalist, Tara has been a fixture on the MTB racing scene for many years. She was seriously injured in a crash during the Jeep King of the Mountain finale at Beaver Creek Resort in Colorado on September 1, 2007.

Tara was airlifted to a hospital in Denver where she underwent seven hours of surgery to her damaged spinal cord. For the past two months, she’s been recovering and undergoing rehabilitation therapy at the Craig Hospital in Denver.

In early December, “Access Hollywood” reporter Maria Menounos interviewed Tara about her accident and a camera crew followed her through a day of her grueling therapy. The segment about Tara will be part of a series of inspirational stories presented during Christmas week on “Access Hollywood.” A list of television stations around the United States that broadcast “Access Hollywood” can be found at:
