“I am really excited about becoming a patron for Action for A-T as I work closely with an A-T child named Evie Read to help develop her sporting skills. I have learnt so much about this devastating disease from working with Evie and want to do all that I can to help Action for A-T with it’s mission.”

Naga Munchetty

Naga has supported Action for A-T since the summer of 2017 when she represented the charity at a City trading day. During this event she met a number of A-T families and as a result, wanted to do more to help. She has taken on countless challenges to raise awareness and funds for more research into A-T and represented the charity on various game shows. She can also be found on the fairways at various Action for A-T Golf Days as well as hosting her own annual day at Moor Park.

 “I’ve met families who are living with A-T – They’re all determined to make sure that those living with this condition live as well as possible. Their determination has inspired me to push myself and try to make a difference. I’ll start by hopefully making one person’s life a little easier, then we’ll go from there”
