During my teenage years his books were some of the few I read. Recently he announced that he is suffering from Alzheimer’s. Recently he pledged $1 million to the Alzheimer’s Research Trust.

In response to this pledge a group of fans have created the site Match It For Pratchett, which is looking for fans to pledge money to help match Terry Pratchett’s $1 million (£500,000) donation to Alzheimer’s Research.
