Awards. Special Honours.
"I’ve been a volunteer with Crohn’s and Colitis Canada for 11 years. I’ve never seen a new event gain momentum like Music for the Gut has.
Jordie Hughton and his family and friends have created something absolutely magical. The performances, well… there’s nothing I can say to prepare you for what you are going to see. Just buy a ticket and make sure you wear socks to the show… so they can be blown off!"
