Post Match it for Pratchett! (donations for Alzheimer's Research)
Do we have a corner on the boards to discuss donation drives, charities and such? If so, please move this post :)

Just heard about this and I really love it, because - hey - Terry Pratchett! :D After being diagnosed with a rare form of early-onset Alzheimer's, the popular (and very successful) author of Discworld novels made a not-entirely-altruistic donation of one million dollars to the cause of Alzheimer's research.

And now, it seems, his fans want to join in. A donation drive called Match it for Pratchett has been started, with the goal of raising another million dollars to match Pterry's donation.

So, if you were looking for a good cause to donate to, I think this qualifies :D

Also, they're auctioning off the Luggage. Wish I had the money for this :lol:
