David Walliams

"I am very pleased to have become a patron of CRY. The charity does amazing work in raising awareness of cardiac risk in the young. The tragedy is that the deaths of so many young people from cardiac problems are preventable, and I am really impressed with CRY's scope as a charity.

Not only does it promote heart screening in the young but it also offers counselling for those who have suffered a loss. It's a real honour for me to be associated with this amazing charity."
