The Gala last year was the first one ever held as the program just exist I believe just a little bit over 5 years and we had the privilege to hear a young gentlemen speak at the age of 17 who is also like Sebastien one of the children challenged with Intestinal Issues and as he made us all cry with his touching testimony, his honest words of his journey from birth to his wonderful age of 17, with his ups and downs, joys and happiness and especially when he spoke about his early years as a baby I just saw flashbacks of Sebastien during his early years as a baby and this young gentelmen just described it soooooo incredibly well from his perspective as well as of his family and it was just soooo uplifting to hear all the humour he still had despite all the difficult moments and the hope he spread throughout the big ballroom at the Four Season Hotel and there was no eye without tears of joy and apprecciation in this ballroom filled with people dedicated with their whole heart and soule to make this world a better place for those children……..

Soooo, believe me bring your tissues as this is the night to honour all those children that have been treated like SEbastien for Issues with their Intestines and are all heros to us and also to honour the people of this wonderful program who are the foundation of our children being with us and their families……. if it wouldn’t be for this program their would not be any hope for children like them……..soooooo if you have time and would like to join swing on your cocktail attire and off we are to a beautiful event of thanksgiving, hope and making it a better place for our children.
