Brothers Alistair and Jonathan Brownlee have been celebrating their incredible Olympic success since the Rio games, having won gold and silver medals for Team GB in the triathlon.

But now the brothers are excited to be running closer to Christmas Day.

“Our main Christmas tradition is that Alistair and myself go for a run on Christmas morning on the Yorkshire Moors,” says Jonathan.

We hope that you will join Jonathan, Alistair and HELLO! by supporting this very worthy cause. We all like to be with our loved ones this time of year. For the families of patients at Great Ormond Street Hospital, this is especially true.

With your support, Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity could help fund family accommodation so mums, dads, brothers and sisters can stay close by, or help fund the creation of bigger rooms in new hospital wards so parents of the most seriously ill children can stay by their bedside 24 hours a day.

The charity also funds play specialists so that children can enjoy some festive fun despite going through very difficult times, and funds research and equipment that will enable the hospital to find new cures and save more lives.

Every donation to Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity will help keep families together this Christmas. And be sure to check back tomorrow to find out which of our wonderful celebs will be popping out from door number 19!
