Gord Downie pumpkin heading to Toronto for fundraising auction


A pumpkin carved with an accurate likeness of Tragically Hip frontman Gord Downie in full-throated performance drew a lot of social media attention for Summerside's Chris Gilfoy earlier this year. Now, the longtime Hip fan will carve the same image into a new pumpkin, which will be shipped to Toronto's Sunnybrook Hospital where it will be auctioned off to raise money for the Gord Downie Fund for Brain Cancer Research. 'It makes me a little bit nervous'Gilfoy told CBC News he was contacted by a doctor in Sunnybrook's neurology department asking if a similar pumpkin could be shipped to Toronto. Chris Gilfoy says he received messages from people asking if his pumpkin was Photoshopped. "But there's a little bit of pressure to make sure this one turns out just perfect."
