I think so as well,

There's a "Make a donation" page on the Alzheimers Trust website where you can donate money, and there's a box where you can say you're doing to to "Match it for Pratchett"

I´m sure we can, one for all, all for one,
and we can achieve far more than Three Musketeers :D

I just did it, but I hope it will be traceable

Good to hear Pterry has a Greek chorus of expert supporters (not only top-end brain specialists, though quite a few of those).

And that one of those is a Wiccan with a holistic approach, which means he should eat the whole mole. :D
