Music in all its forms can provide relaxation, comfort, and strength.
That’s why it’s at the heart of everything we do.
We bring music wherever it’s needed most 💙

From intimate living room concerts and bedside performances in hospitals, to making concerts and festivals more accessible for people living with cancer. We support the purchase of musical instruments, and cover the costs of music and singing lessons for those who need a creative outlet or emotional release. In addition, NGNG provides mental health support for our beneficiaries and their loved ones — because healing goes beyond the physical.
Cancer has a profound impact on children, whether they are ill themselves or their parents or siblings.
Music provides a comforting outlet for children to express emotions that are sometimes hard to put into words.
We contribute to this by giving these children their very own special NGNG guitar.

We also have another special project for children who are affected by cancer.
The NGNG Music Cuddle Toy: a special plush that offers more than comfort. Each toy contains a heart-shaped recorder where you can save a personal voice message or a favorite song, keeping a loved one’s voice close. It’s created for moments when being together isn’t possible, such as during illness, separation, or loss. It can also provide comfort to children in hospitals who cannot always be with their parents or caregivers, and to children facing the loss of a parent or sibling.

Music can ease both physical and emotional challenges. It can help reduce pain, relieve stress, and provide support during intensive treatments through singing and breathing exercises.
At the No Guts No Glory Foundation, we support people with cancer and their loved ones through the power of music. To make this support accessible, we created the No Guts No Glory Music House: a warm, welcoming place where music, connection, and emotional support come together.

We provide:
⭐ Professional singing and music workshops
⭐ Intimate live performances with room for conversation
⭐ A safe space to meet others who understand the cancer experience
⭐ All to help people cope with the impact of illness

The NGNG Music House offers a place to find strength, connection, and hope.

A cancer diagnosis touches every part of a person’s life—socially, physically, and emotionally. It can stir up a complex mix of emotions, from fear and anger to sadness and guilt. Many individuals face the heavy burden of confronting their mortality, coping with the immediate and lasting side effects of treatment or living with the lingering worry that the cancer might return.

Research shows that music can have a profound impact on psychological well-being—which is why we are dedicated to bring it into hospitals. Music has a unique power: it can soothe or uplift, offering emotional connection and reflection through familiar melodies and rhythms. By tapping into memories and associations, music helps people feel more grounded, comforted, and supported during challenging times.

In addition to organizing live (acoustic) concerts in hospitals, we also donate pianos—available for patients, their loved ones, as well as doctors and nurses—to play and enjoy.
