Singer Olly Murs, the runner-up in X Factor in 2009, is giving his support to children’s
charity Brainwave by becoming a patron. He decided to get involved after visiting
Brainwave’s centre in Witham, Essex and met some of the families and their children
with conditions including Cerebral Palsy, Downs, Autism and Developmental Delay.

Murs said: “It was great to meet some of the children on the Brainwave programme
as I got to see for myself how the hard work, determination and effort that’s put
in can literally change their lives. I was very touched when I came down to visit
the centre in Essex, and am delighted to become a Patron of Brainwave. I am looking
forward to working alongside them and helping raise awareness of this fantastic 
charity.”
