Harry Potter, Fight Club and Sweeney Todd actress, Helena Bonham Carter, is the new patron of a UK muscular dystrophy charity, Action Duchenne.
The English actress joins other VIP supporters including Tim Henman OBE, Mike Brearley OBE, Maureen Lipman CBE, Lloyd Honeyghan, Lord David Puttnam and Bryan Robson OBE.
‘As a patron of Action Duchenne, I would like to urge as many people as possible to find out about the work of the charity and the devastating effects of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Treatments and a cure seem tantalisingly close but they will not appear without further support and funding. Please join Action Duchenne in helping to make muscle wasting history.’ Helena Bonham Carter said in her first public statement as Action Duchenne patron.
