Sports votes

My identity was a hockey player.

My Dad was my best friend. Fundamental rule: “You fall down, you get up.”

One question: How good could I be? Division I Hockey

BU Hockey: Top program, defending national championship. He was going to play the 1st game of the season. The night before October 20th, if you were to put your head on the pillow and feeling so good about how. I worked hard. It was really fun being that Travis Roy.

In the 2nd minute of the game BU scored. To feel that tap on the shoulder.

The hit. It wasn’t until I tried to get up and something was significantly wrong. It goes back to the #1 rule in hockey. Let’s get up and get going.

His father went to him. What’s up” I can’t feel anything, but my neck hurts. But Dad, I made. It was a dream come true and the nightmare just begun. They made it very clear, if he survived he was going to be a quadriplegic.

The tears started. My fault.

What was your identity? I wasn’t a hockey player. I had to figure out who I was. Every aspect of my life was new. I just didn’t know how to interact with the world. He didn’t know what he would do to make a living.

Graduating from BU. I feel like I mattered. It was an opportunity to further the cause.

1997 Travis Roy Foundation All consuming. more than 1,000 people. It has also funded more than a million dollars. Hope for Travis and a face of a community.

Christopher Reeve Foundation:

But still a damaged body. He cannot do anything by himself. I say good-bye. I feel lousy when I walk away. The last 20 years with purpose.

Travis Roy Foundation

28 teams, 3 replica fields and one reason. The Foundations biggest fundraiser. It embodies Travis.

In 11 seconds, so much lost. 20 years later so much gained. “Does it get any better than this?”

It Travis’ story happy or sad? He has done more than he ever would as a hockley
