COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Oct. 4, 2011) – U.S. Women’s Sitting Volleyball Team player Katie Holloway will make her reality TV debut on Sunday (Oct. 9) on ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. The show will air at 8 p.m. ET (check local listings). Holloway’s (Lake Stevens, Wash.) athletic and life accomplishments attracted the show’s producers, who asked her to be an inspiring role model to a 10-year-old hero who lost her left leg and a kidney while saving her little sister from an oncoming pick-up truck. “The producers of the show called the U.S. Paralympic offices and they referred them to me,” said Holloway, 25, who is from Lake Stevens, Wash and is one of the resident sitting volleyball athletes at the University of Central Oklahoma. “To be honest, I was nervous to meet her at first but when we were introduced she immediately gave me a hug.” In February 2011, in Madison, Ga., then 9-year-old, Anaiah Rucker and younger sister Camry, six, were crossing the street to get to their school bus when the unthinkable happened. In a selfless and successful effort to save her sister’s life, Anaiah let go of her sister’s hand and took the blow of the approaching truck after pushing her sister out of harm’s way. MORE |
