Boston Honors Travis Roy (COM’00, Hon.’16)
The City of Boston lit up City Hall in red, with flags flying at half mast, Friday night in honor of Travis Roy (COM’00, Hon.’16). After an accident during his first BU hockey game in 1995 left the Terrier freshman player paralyzed from the waist down, in 1996 he established the Travis Roy Foundation, which has helped more than 2,100 quadriplegics and paraplegics and has awarded nearly $5 million in grants toward spinal cord research. Roy died October 29 from complications of his condition. Photo by Jake Belcher
