Will Reeve, a member of the board of directors for the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation and the son of the late Christopher Reeve, eulogizes Travis Roy, who died Thursday. Roy was 45. Paralyzed in his first NCAA game as a freshman with Boston University in 1995, Roy became a titan in the field of spinal cord injury research and his Travis Roy Foundation raised millions of dollars, which were distributed in research grants and to quality-of-life organizations, including the Reeve Foundation.
