Terry Pratchett has announced that he is donate around half a million pounds for research into Alzheimer’s. He himself was diagnosed with a rare form of the disease in December of last year.

My mother suffered from the disease and because my father was unable to cope she stayed in a care home until her death in 2002. It was devastating watching her deteriorate. Eventually I doubt she knew who I was. I have donated myself and hopefully with this amount being donated it will help the research and eventually find a cure.

Terry Pratchett is probably one of my favourite authors; I think I have most of his books in my collection. I hope he continues to write and I wish him well.
