On Sunday, October 28, the BU Squash Team volunteered at Bill’s 5K benefitting the Travis Roy Foundation. Travis Roy is a Boston University alum who played for the BU Hockey team. During his first collegiate game, Roy had a freak accident on the ice, colliding with the boards and cracking the fourth vertebra, paralyzing him from the neck down.
(Travis Roy’s story) is a story about America’s love affair with sports and the people who embrace its never-die spirit. Most of all, it is the story of one young man who surrendered to no limits and defied all odds, both before and after the tragedy that ended his game. –E.M. Swift in Eleven Seconds
The Travis Roy Foundation raises money for quadriplegics and paraplegics and to support research for a cure.
The team had a blast directing the runners, handing out waters, and cheering them on at Bill’s 5k. We’re proud to help support the Travis Roy Foundation and be part of his family.
