 Good for her. My mother and cousin also had MS. Hopefully there will be a cure soon.

She is one of my few heroes, she started out with nothing, needing personal assistance to care for her child. She became incredibly wealthy, all through her own effort, and gave so much away, she dropped from billionaire status. All too few like her..

A truly great gesture on her part. And let's not forget that her Harry Potter books are still the gifts that keep on giving--in their case, reading joy to kids.
