GOSH patients join the Arsenal team members at Emirates Stadium.
If you follow Tom Felton on Twitter, you probably saw him Tweet about the Great Ormond Street Hospital charity event which occurs tomorrow. Feltbeats.com has confirmed with Tom today that he is indeed attending this event, and wants to encourage everyone to go down to the Emirates Stadium and run 10 laps for charity! You can register here.
According to the Web site, the Great Ormond Street Hospital is teaming up with the Arsenal football team in the hopes of raising £500,000 for the children at the hospital. The money will be used to build a new lung function unit for children who have difficulty breathing or sleeping.
Earlier today, Tom Felton worked with director Richard Curtis (Four Weddings and a Funeral, Love Actually, Bridget Jones, etc.) to film a video to help promote awareness of a proposed “Robin Hood tax.”
Bill Nighy, who also supports the proposal and has filmed a campaign video supporting it as well, told the Standard: “The thing about the Robin Hood tax is we ourselves searched for the flaws and there aren’t any. It’s one of those simply brilliant ideas that works for everybody and it’s slightly surprising that there should be any resistance from anyone.”
Watch the first campaign video with Bill Nighy below:
Other celebrities filmed alongside Tom today, as well, such as Ben Kingsley and Noel Clarke. Tom tweeted about it today:
