Join us for a presentation by Travis Roy and an ice cream social sponsored by BEN & JERRY'S.

On October 20, 1995, only eleven seconds into the first shift of his college hockey career at Boston University, Travis' dream was cut cruelly short when he shattered his fourth and fifth cervical vertebra, severely damaging his spinal cord. Travis Roy is now a quadriplegic, with no feeling below his shoulders and movement only in his right arm. With limited control of his right bicep, Travis is able to conduct simple yet key tasks such as operating the joystick of his wheelchair.  Travis has faced his disability with the same sense of optimism and determination that distinguished his hockey career. A May 2000 graduate of Boston University with a degree in public relations, he is a popular motivational speaker and is actively involved with the Foundation. In 1998, he published a book, Eleven Seconds, based on his life. In 2004, he made his debut as a television college hockey analyst with WMTW-TV8 in Portland, ME, and in 2005, he worked as a color analyst during ESPNU's national coverage of the 2005 NCAA D-I college hockey playoffs.  For more details contact Jennifer Fustino.
