News and a good idea propagated from coyotegoth
Best-selling fantasy author Terry Pratchett is to donate $1m for research into Alzheimer's disease. The creator of the Discworld series was diagnosed with a rare early-onset form of the disease in December.
Some fans have decided it would be a great idea to match his donation by getting a half a million people to donate a pound each to Alzheimer's research. That's about $2 US/CAN, give or take a few pennies.
Donate at http://www.alzheimers-research.org.uk/howtohelp/ and tell them it's in honour of Terry Pratchett. Or buy a T-shirt and all the proceeds will be donated to the cause.
