Musicians band together to support friend after cancer diagnosis
Musicians from around the province are hosting a benefit event to support one of their friends battling cancer
Danny Mirasty, who’s currently residing in Prince Albert, reached out to his bandmates and musical network to help raise funds for Lori Morin-Wuttunee, from the Red Pheasant First Nation. Morin-Wuttunee is battling cancer, and has to commute roughly 150 kilometers to Saskatoon for her treatment.
“When one of our musical brothers or sisters is down and out we all have to come together and support one another,” Mirasty said. “Music brings us together and we always unite through music, and all of our musician friends are going to be there for Lori.”
The benefit, called MUSIC of HOPE, will be hosted at O’Brian’s Event Centre in Saskatoon Feb. 16. Festivities are running between 8 p.m. and 2 a.m., and the event is open to all ages event, but those under 18 years old must be accompanied by an adult.
