Carol Vorderman shared a photo with her older brother Anton, who was born with a cleft lip and cleft palate, to attract attention.
In addition to laughing, the 61-year-old television broadcaster announced that his 70-year-old brother had undergone 24 surgeries in his life and also received speech therapy.
Carol described how Anton was born with the “severe form” of his left lip and palate, and how he paid for the treatment of his mother, who is a single parent.
Family: Carol Vorderman shared a post to draw attention by posting a photo with her older brother Anton, who was born with a cleft lip and cleft palate.
Carol, who’s the boss for? The Clapa Community is currently participating in a Step Up for Clapa fundraiser for Cleft Awareness Week.
The old countdown wizard wrote: “This week is HALF AWARENESS WEEK. Together with my brother Anton this week doing our STEP UP FOR CLAPA FOR CLAPA (Association for Cleft Lip and Palate) to raise awareness of cleft lip and cleft palate.
‘Anton was born with the most severe form of cleft lip and cleft palate and underwent 24 surgeries throughout his life.
Clefts are very diverse and may require many years of specialized care and surgery, including speech therapy.
When Anton was 7 years old, our mother raised us as a single parent, our father did not give him a penny for years.
Gorgeous: Carol Vorderman posed in a casual sporty outfit while talking about her older brother, “born Sunday with a severe cleft lip and cleft palate”, on Instagram.
“So he had up to 5 part-time jobs to put food on the table, and one of the things he saved money on was Anton’s speech therapy classes in the 1960s. It changed his life. Now this is on trial on the NHS.
“Anyway, we’re together after all these years with a few little walks around Pembs, which I’ve patronized for over 20 years, and Anton is a champion for a good cause. It’s a small charity but a nice x.’
Carol looked breathtaking as she stood in the shade of the sun wearing sunglasses, smiling in a gray long sleeve top and black sports leggings.
She looked cheerful as she hid her shoulder-length curls under an elegant fedora.
She also shared a photo of Anton glinting towards the sea on a cliff next to two ponies.
Sister Walk: Anton was teleported by two ponies on a cliffside beach while participating in a Step Up for Clapa fundraiser for crack awareness week.
She captioned the gorgeous selfies: “Another beautiful day adding steps for STEP UP FOR CLAPA @clapacommunity with my dear brother. CONSCIOUSNESS WEEK CLOSED.
Anton is 7 years older than me. He was born with a cleft lip and severe cleft palate, and we grew up in a small flat in Prestatyn, North Wales.
She said of her childhood: “Our parents were separated and our father wasn’t around, so Anton was like my ‘dad’.
She looks good: Carol shone surprisingly in a gray top and black sporty leggings as she stood in the shade of the sun in Wales wearing sunglasses and a fedora.
“He looked at me and stayed with me as he wasn’t very fond of going out when I was a gaping kid and he taught me chess, cars and mental math and we struggled to “scramble sales” and bought old stuff and thought we had won the lottery!!!! Well, we had it in our minds.
“I have been a patron of CLAPA for the past 20 years and he is also an ambassador.
“This week is dedicated to raising awareness about the entire ‘journey through the gate’. I’m ❤️ bro how can you say x
Some fans rejoiced at how “beautiful” and “absolutely gorgeous” the star was, while others congratulated her for “supporting a good cause” and how “moving” she was.
