Chantelle Grafton works for the provincial government as a water management and flood response/mitigation specialist and sometime next year she expects to complete her masters degree in water resource policy.
On June 15, 2019 , while practicing a drop on a trail at Valemount Bike Park she crashed and landed on her head, fracturing her C1, C2 and C3 vertebra, and her high-level spinal cord injury left her without motor ability below her shoulders. The day it finally happened, after two minutes without the breathing tube, Chantelle’s blood oxygen saturation levels dropped below 90 per cent and the technologist wanted to reinsert the tube but Warren would not let him and physically kept him away from Chantelle. Eventually her oxygen levels climbed and each day she could go a minute longer breathing on her own until eventually the minutes stretched into hours. Once she was off the breathing tube, they could move to G.F.
Friends and co-workers helped find them a wheelchair accessible home and built them a ramp. Then they packed up their old house and moved their belongings into the new house before they flew back to Prince George. She wondered how the karate kids she teaches would react to having a paraplegic giving them instructions but it wasn’t a problem.
