Send "Get Well" Wishes to Rusty Smith
A message from Christine at RustySmith.com:
"Rusty Smith got an injury while skating in the World Championships in Sweden. His nose was cut by the blade of another skater who slipped on the ice. He had some surgery while he was out there, and he should be on his way home right now.
I just thought it would be nice for him to get home and see some well-wishes from fans and friends, to let him know we're all thinking about him. It'll give him something to do while he's recovering!
