Story summary
Teage Ezard, a renowned chef in Victoria recognized by the Good Food Guide for his culinary expertise at Guernica, Ezard, Gingerboy, and Levantine Hill, has been honored posthumously for founding Combat MSA. Teage established this charity after being diagnosed with Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) in 2024, following years of undiagnosed symptoms that began in 2019. The disease, which caused his death at the age of 59 in March 2026, has received significant support from Teage’s widow Tina Ezard, who continues to lead Combat MSA. This charity focuses on raising awareness about MSA, driving advocacy efforts, funding research, and providing dignity for those diagnosed with this rare neurological condition.
