One of my favorite writers, Neil Gaiman is helping out a friend over at his LJ blog. Writer Terry Pratchett, who has recently been diagnosed with Alzheimers, has donated one million dollars to research this awful disease. I see patients with dementia at my nursing homes and it is extremely sad to see them slip further away almost daily. Check out the site and get a cool t-shirt if you can donate some coin to the charity.

I love Terry Pratchett. I was crestfallen when I first heard of his diagnosis. :(
Thanks for the links.

Somebody can read him all his books when he's forgotten them all.

N...no....
It can't be true!
*runs screaming from the room*
Well, at least his friend is spurred to help with the research. And I really hope this doesn't stop his writing.

I've never read Pratchett, but I really feel for him. 59 is way too young for something like that.
