Travis Roy - "Conquering Life's Hurdles"

Travis Roy first entered the national stage on October 20, 1995 when only eleven seconds into the first shift of his college hockey career at Boston University, he shattered his fourth and fifth cervical Vertebra, severely damaging his spinal cord.
Left a quadriplegic, with no feeling below his shoulders and limited movement only in his right arm, Travis has faced his disability with the same sense of optimism and determination that distinguished his hockey career. He returned to BU less than a year after his accident and completed his degree in Public Relations in May, 2000. Since graduating, Travis had written the book, Eleven Seconds, based on his life experiences before and after the accident. Join Travis as he tells his story of his trials and tribulations as well as triumphs since his accident.

Travis spoke on September 23, 2009 in the WSC Blue Lounge.
