jk rowling has given £10 million to ms research..well done to her...

[ttfn]

Seconded

[askyourgran]

That is great news, 10mil is not to be sneezed at.

[NoMercy]

She was also one of the first people to put up a reward for information on missing Madeleine.

Magic woman

[boxtops]

Good on her, massively rich but doing good. I hope she Gift Aided it too.

Amazing woman who doesnt court publicity.She and her husband are so grounded-he still works as a Registrar at St. Johns Hospital in Livingston (well he did last I heard !).
Heartwarming gesture -believe she lost her Mum to MS :(

[stokemaveric]

its great to read a ''good news story'' for a change what a fantastic gesture off her ok she might be 1 of the worlds richest women but she didnt have to give anything did she?

[ttfn]

You are so correct there Dave. Is gran snorting 10ml of something up her nose?

[marval]

This is a great gesture on her part, let's hope it will do a lot of good.

[Dris]

Ive just Wiki'd her and she is a 'silent' philanthropist which makes me admire her more given she has given far more than stated albeit surreptiously. I really admire her.

[ttfn]

I also admire for the fact that she has made her own fortune, whilst giving pleasure to millions.

[zzxxee]

yep good on her but good on my next door neighbour who although on a pension gives to age concern every month x it doesnt matter how much you give just that you do it xx

[ttfn]

Such people as your neighbour will never be on any celebrity listing zzxxee. It is as well that the various charities understand from whence their support comes.

[modeller]

How much did you give tonyted # it's not exactly the widows mite though, is it? #.

[Mrjeezy]

She does indeed seem a kind person, Ive also read that she gave £22 million to comic relief. Not bad for a struggling writer who drank cold coffees in cafe's for hours as she wrote as her daughter Jessica sleeping in a buggy beside her whilst she was living? (Struggling) on £70 a week benefits, and her flat was infested with mice.

[RATTER15]

She actually bought her Wolfhound Puppy from the breeder of our puppy, she donated funds to her breeding programme as well.

[Ric.ror]

Brilliant news and I am sure the publicity of her gesture will raise awarness of the condition.

I wonder if Abdullah of Saudi Arabia knows about the floods in Pakistan? The reason I ask is becuse we are all aware of the contributions made by our own governments and the other aid agencies but I have yet to hear about the aid given by one of the richest families in the world to the near neighbours

[LeMarchand]

She's not keen on the Cam-man either: http://www.timesonlin...rs/article7096786.ece
