Chantal Felten is organizing a fundraiser to purchase a custom offroad handcycle for Tara Llanes. http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=230946063617588<http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=230946063617588>

The fundraiser consists mostly of collecting individual personal donations. Donations can be made online at https://reg.ccnbikes.com/index.php/pledge/80<https://reg.ccnbikes.com/index.php/pledge/80> . We’ve collected just over $3000 in donations to date – still need another $4500.

A number of companies have also donated items which will be auctioned off on the CCN website (hopefully the auction will be online within the week). There will be some great items, including product from Sombrio, Contour, Troy Lee Designs and Chromag. Anneke Beerten has donated an autographed UCI Championship jersey. The Athertons will be auctioning one of their team bikes. And Big Mountain Bike Adventures has offered a Costa Rica Pura Vida DH trip to be auctioned.

Lets spread the word and get this amazing inspiring woman shredding dirt! 🙂
