MGA Press and Publicity Ed Stewart Becomes Patron of MGA

MGA, the only charity in the UK that supports people with the auto-immune disease Myasthenia Gravis is delighted that Ed ‘Stewpot’ Stewart is to become one of their Patrons alongside Nick Ross.

Ed’s career in radio goes back to the 1960’s when after working in Hong Kong he joined the ‘Pirates’ at Radio London before moving to the BBC. Known to many from the TV programme ‘Crackerjack’ he now has a weekly programme on Radio 2 on Sunday evenings and fills his weekdays working on a Spanish ex pat radio programme.

Ed’s passion is golf but for the last two years he has been busy writing his autobiography ‘Out of the Stewpot’.

Alasdair Nimmo, Chief Executive Officer at MGA said,

‘We are thrilled and delighted that Ed has decided to join us and we look forward to working with him for many years to come’.

Editor’s Notes:

Myasthenia Gravis is a severe, fluctuating disease that affects 1 in 10,000 people in the UK. It causes severe muscle weakness and can affect anybody at any age.

The Myasthenia Gravis Association is a Charity working from its headquarters in Derby through its Branches and Regional Organisers throughout the country. We offer support to myasthenics and their families, increasing public and medical awareness and raising funds for research in order to find a cure. Recent research has resulted in more understanding and better management of the disease but there is still no cure.
