A real shame. He did a substantial amount with his time on earth, though, and turned a tragedy into an opportunity for real change. Hopefully his advocacy can help us one day find a cure for most if not all forms of spinal cord injury.
An absolute hero. There are not many people I would call a hero of mine. Travis has been a hero of mine for a long time. One of the strongest and warmest souls ever to be on this planet. My condolences to the friends and family.
To those of a certain age, this is terribly sad news. Travis Roy’s accident was a moment that made superhero athletes suddenly seem mortal to a generation.
in the mid 2000's he came to my middle school and shared his story. It was an assembly i actually paid attention to since his speech was hockey related, and i remember it being inspiring.
