Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has given $15.4 million towards a Clinic which will treat and research Multiple Sclerosis, the disease that killed her mother. Named the Anne Rowling Regenerative Neurology Clinic, after Rowling’s mother, the clinic will be based at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. The university said Rowling's $ 15.4 million is the largest single donation it has received so far.
The writer who fired the imagination of young minds with her boy wizard creation, said she hopes the clinic will become a “world center for excellence in the field of regenerative neurology.” The center will also study other degenerative neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
