FRIENDS
AND FAMILY OF ALEC (BUNK) WURTH
Early last year, Alec (Bunk) Wurth sustained a serious
spinal cord injury while playing rugby. Bunk is a quadriplegic and
is dependent on a ventilator. Friends and family have rallied together
to form a very active, unwaivering support group that provides emotional
support, holds fund raisers, hosts a daily message board, and much
more. It is through their determination that Bunk maintains his
"no bad days" attitude. Visit Bunk Wurth's site http://www.bunkwurth.org
