On Thursday, July 11th Canadian Professional Bull Rider Aaron Roy was injured while competing in the Calgary Stampede. Aaron fractured his lower back and jaw and is currently recovering from surgery at the Foothills Hospital in Calgary, AB.
Aaron has a lengthy road to recovery ahead of him. He and his wife Hallie will be expecting their first child in the new year. We hope by hosting this auction for them we may ease some of the financial strain and let him focus on his recovery.
Aaron is ranked 9th in the PBR World Standings. He was enroute to having his most successful career year to date. Roy is the most successful rider from Canada in the PBR’s 20 year history. He has won the Canadian National Title Three times.
The auction will close on Saturday, July 27th at 9:00 pm. If you have items you would like to donate PLEASE post a picture of the item or items with a suggested retail value and opening bid.
