Match it for Pratchett, to borrow akicif's term

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.

And, from tree_and_leaf:

A good idea from elsewhere on the flist. Apologies if you've seen it already, but it's, as I say, a good idea.

Today, it was announced that Terry Pratchett has donated half a million pounds to Alzheimer's research. Hearing that, it occurred to me that if half a million of us all donated a pound to Alzheimer's research, we could match his donation and make it an even million.

So whaddaya say, guys? It's a pound. That's about 2 bucks US dollars, give or take a couple of (US) pennies. You can spare that much. Go here and make your donation. Tell them it's in honour of Terry Pratchett.

Let's do it!
