Harper’s Bio

Meet Harper, a 14-year-old from Radford, Virginia, whose creativity and spirit light up any room. After a spinal cord injury from an ATV accident in July 2024, she’s embraced her journey with strength and positivity. Harper loves spending time with friends and family, painting, baking sweet treats, doing makeup, and reminiscing about her cheerleading days. She imagines Shepherd Center in 1975 as the beginning of something powerful and believes the next 50 years will bring even more positive change for others like her. One of her favorite memories? Fun Fridays and the amazing people she’s met along the way. Harper is ready to show the world her fierce style, big heart, and unstoppable smile!
