On
Thursday, November 20, United Way president James W. Horne, Jr. had the pleasure
of introducing Travis Roy, the featured speaker at a dinner held at the Log
Cabin in Holyoke. Roy address the audience about his remarkable accomplishments
after suffering an accident playing hockey for Boston University. The accident
left him a quadriplegic.
Roy also talked about his biography
11 Seconds (Warner
Books), and the "10 Rules of Life" which he outlines in the book.
When asked about his connection to United Way, Roy said, "I was always a
supporter of the United Way both before and after my accident. United Way is a
supporter of the Visiting Nurses Association, or VNA, and I have received care
from the VNA for many years."
The dinner will honor United Way leadership givers, those who generously
contribute $1,000 or more each year to the annual campaign.
