JK Rowling Gives £10m for Edinburgh MS Centre

Harry Potter author JK Rowling has donated £10m to the University of Edinburgh to set up a Multiple Sclerosis research clinic.

The Anne Rowling Regenerative Neurology Clinic, named after the writer’s mother, who died from the disease aged 45, said the funds were to help attract top researchers to seek a cure for MS.

Work at the new clinic will also focus on other degenerative neurological conditions, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease and Motor Neurone Disease.
