After being diagnosed with a rare form of early-onset Alzheimers disease earlier this year, Terry Pratchett has donated $1 million dollars to Alzheimer’s research. The BBC News article reveals the effects the disease is having on Pratchett and his good humor and determination about the diease. The SF/F fan community is once again steping in to make its concern for its members known, with the Match It for Pratchett campaign taking place across multiple on-line journalining communities and seeking to have fans match Pratchett’s donations with their collective ones.
