Brooke Shields and Donna Kelce are joining forces to fight a common disease that targets adults over 50.
In a video posted to Instagram by Shields on Tuesday, March 18, the model and the mother of Travis and Jason Kelce played a game of cornhole against Roselyn Sanchez and Gina Torres for a very good cause—raising shingles awareness.

Led by Dr. Bayo Curry-Winchell, MD—otherwise known as Dr. Bayo—the game required its celebrity participants to answer questions about the painful condition before tossing their beanbags.
"At what age does the risk for shingles sharply increase?" Dr. Bayo asked, kicking off the game.
Shields and Kelce immediately knew the answer, calling out, "50!"
"#SponsoredByGSK Shingles is a painful, blistering rash that can develop at any time, without warning," Shields wrote in her caption.
"Take a step to prioritize your health and ask your doctor or pharmacist about your risk for shingles and about prevention," she continued, adding, "@donnakelce, @roselyn_sanchez, @iamginatorres, and I know that shingles isn’t a game. It can be an isolating and painful experience that can disrupt your life for multiple weeks or even longer with potential long-term complications."

Shields also shared a series of pics from a brunch hosted by Kelce in January via her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, writing, "I'm still thinking about the AMAZING time I had in Kansas City with the @thriveat50plus ladies!"
"Here are 2 things I learned as part of this campaign," Shields wrote, going on to reveal that "an estimated one million people develop singles annually in the United States" and "99% of adults 50 years and older already have the virus that causes shingles inside their body" which "can reactivate at any time, even though not all of them will develop shingles."
"If you are 50 years or older, join me and ask your doctor or pharmacist about your risk for shingles and about prevention!" the bestselling author encouraged her followers.
