Further to the previous Pratchett post

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!

That's a really good idea - as soon as I get my next grant payment through I might set up a direct debit to them.

(Or at least donate something! - realised that came across as rather ambiguous)

I'm glad someone thought of this.

Don't worry!

Aren't grant cash-flow problems lovely? Erasmus seems to be particularly bad...

[coyotegoth.livejournal.com]

Me, too. (Also, akicif came up with the phrase "Match it for Pratchett," which delights me.

Oh, that's fantastic ;)

[sacred-sarcasm.livejournal.com]

Fantastic, will donate and spread the word.

[tree_and_leaf]

Great - the wider it spreads, the better.

Excellent! It's a really good idea (I note there's also a Facebook group).
