| | |  JKR Hosts Masquerade Ball for MS Research
Back in February, we reported that J.K. Rowling would be hosting a fundraising ball at Stirling Castle to benefit multiple sclerosis research. The masquerade ball took place tonight and there are now some images online to view. Quote: |
During the evening guests took part in a treasure hunt, with the clues written by Rowling herself.
| Quote:
The author of the Harry Potter books has been a long standing campaigner for better standards of care for people affected by MS.
Her mother died of complications from rapidly progressive MS at the age of 45.

The event sounds like it was a lot of fun! It was neat to see that Robbie Coltrain was there. I love masquerade parties, and this one was held for a very worthy cause! I have a good friend who has MS and is in a wheel chair. | |

That is why she is my idol! She is always putting other people before her own self. She thinks about kids with diseases a lot, and that I why I love her!!!

that must have been so much fun to attend. could you imagine? clues written by j.k. herself. people must have had to work on those clues for ages.
just look at how long it took us to figure out everything that happens in her books.
i think it's great that she is using her fame to do so much for the community. | |

That is awesome! JK has a great heart as is evident by this ball. All celebrities should be doing things like this, there are so many great causes to support and there is never enough funding for them. Great job JK! | |
