| | |  J.K.Rowling joins Hands off the Sick Kids campaign
J.K.Rowling has given her support to the Hands off the Sick Kids campaign in Scotland which is protesting against transfering specialist cancer and neurology services to Glasgow from Edinburgh. Thousands have joined the fight against the attempt to centralise services. A final decision should be made in a couple months. Quote:
Today, Ms Rowling said: "Should the current services at the Sick Kids be transferred across to Glasgow the consequences for seriously ill children and their families would be massive.
"These children have enough to deal with without being separated from their families or having to endure long journeys west."
Other celebrities supporting the campaign include Ian Rankin, KT Tunstall and Gavin Hastings. | |

Yes you don't need to seperate children from their parents especially with what they are going through. And worse make them transfer to somwhere different to get treatment.

That's really sweet of Jo ^^ And she is right *nods* How can the kids recover without those who love them nearby?

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

Aww, that's great of Jo to support them.
I can't believe they can even think about separating the children from their parents! | |

She absolutely right. And what's good is that you can see that she really wants to help people. She cares about others, she really does. And that's what every human should do 
Thanks to J.K Rowling, who made our world enchanted and helped it to be a better place

Jo is absolutely right. Children need their parents so much! How can we recover without those who love us nearby? I think we can't.
