In this episode, the Radio Rounds team speaks with special guest Travis Roy, author of a book entitled Eleven Seconds, which chronicles his life-altering accident in 1995, in which he became paralyzed from the neck down, just 11 seconds into his first varsity hockey game with the then-reigning NCAA champion Boston University.

Travis’s story is about hope and perseverance in the face of tragedy. Here is a 30 second preview of our interview with Travis: TRAVIS ROY PREVIEW. In addition, learn more about Travis and the Travis Roy Foundation, which provides generous research support and individual grants for spinal cord injury survivors.
