The 12 Days of Ori – Day 12

Today is the final day of our 12 Days or Ori posts. We hope you have enjoyed learning more about Adam Brown and his character of Ori in The Hobbit films!

If you’ve been keeping up with The 12 Days of Ori, you’ll remember that on Day 5, Adam shared that he ran the London Marathon in 2014 in memory of his father. Today, Adam shares the charity he supports to honor his dad’s memory.

Middle-earth News: Do you have any causes that are close to your heart or charities that you support?

Adam Brown: Yes — The British Heart Foundation. My dad was very young and passed away suddenly this year of a heart attack. I’m supporting the BHF to raise awareness of heart disease.

We’d like to thank Adam for taking the time out of his busy schedule to answer our questions and spread some Yuletide cheer to us and our readers. We are humbled and forever grateful! We were even lucky enough to receive some bonus answers from Adam, so keep an eye out later this year for the full interview, complete with a bonus Q&A!
