Celeste Glover Email & Phone Number

A remodeler, gardener, athlete, seamstress, cook, motorcyclist, and a pillar of the Arizona roller derby community, Celeste was living her dream as a physically active person.Her VERY ACTIVE lifestyle changed suddenly last summer.Celeste and her husband, Rick, were on the motorcycle trip of a lifetime through the United States, Canada and Baja when an antelope suddenly appeared in the path of her motorcycle. Instinctively, Celeste swerved. Hitting gravel, she slid off the road and was thrown from her bike. She sustained a complete T6-T7 spinal cord injury, right in the middle of her back. Celeste was rushed to the hospital in Great Falls where she had surgery the next morning to straighten her spine. Two rods and eight screws were implanted from vertebrae T5-T9.Surgery was successful. Two metal rods were implanted securing Celeste’s spine back into position with fractures at T7. One month later, she returned home to Phoenix, Arizona paralyzed from the point of injury down.After learning that her spinal cord was not severed, Celeste immediately went into rehab and physical therapy. She quickly gained some feeling and control over her abdominal muscles, waist and hips, already defying the odds. This encouraged Celeste to start researching treatments for her injury. Settling was not an option.“I have hope. I have confidence. With the right tools, I can slay this dragon,” she said.On My Feet, a small, but mighty group of graphic designers, writers, digital experts and social media managers are committed to helping Celeste slay this dragon. Through extensive research, Celeste has found a spinal cord stimulation surgery that can change her life for the better. We at On My Feet are here to help her raise $110,000 to make that happen.
