Story

J K Rowling the author of the Harry Potter books has opened a clinic in memory of her mum called The Anne Rowling Clinic.  Anne Rowling passed away at the aged of 45 from complications for the illnes she was suffering from which was Multiple Sclerosis.  MS like all wasting diseases is horrible.  The most horrible part when you are a family member is to watch a loved one waste away to shadow of themselves.  

This is a story i know to well as my own dad suffered from MS and passed away when he was 44 years old after contracting Meningitis.  My dad was no super hero he didnt do anything amazing but he was a good dad to me and my brother and that is why I am raising money for this centre so that hopefully a cure can be found so that other families do not need to go through what mine did.

I know its quite near Christmas so if you can even just donate £2 I would appreciate it.
