Match it for Pratchett

I know a lot of you, like me, were upset to hear of Terry's announcement a few months ago that he suffers from a rare form of early-onset Alzheimer's Disease. The Discworld has such an amazing collection of fans, that matching his million dollars could be possible. Even if it was only a pound or a dollar, the price of a Discworld paperback, it could be done.

[livejournal.com profile] gillo has an entry which explains the condition so much better than I can here. There is a link as well, and a button you can use to spread the word.

It was terribly upsetting. I just hope he can do something to increase awareness.
