| | |  J.K. Rowling donates signed book set to charity
The BBC is reporting that J.K. Rowling has donated a signed Harry Potter book set to a young boy with Xeroderma Pigmentosum (a recessive genetic disorder which means exposure to sunlight increases the risk of developing cancer or blindness) in order for him to raise money to help others with the condition.
David Middleton's mother wrote to Jo asking for her help to raise funds for the XP Support Group. The set will be auctioned in November. | |

Great work Jo, she's so generous! A signed set should bring in some serious cash and hopefully help this boy for many years to come.

very nice for Jo to do something like that. I hope the set fetches a good amount. the disease is not well known so i'm pretty sure that funding for research to its cure are few and far between.
on a side note, XP Support Group? LOL! reminds me of the name of my old job  | |

If one day I am able to be half as generous as Jo is, not only to her fans, but to charity, I will feel like a very blessed person.

That is great. It is really nice to see celebrities help out with those kinds of things.

That's a great way to help out a young man. It allows him to have a part in helping out others without just having received a check.

Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,

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. | |

I so wish I knew where to send requests like that. I am hosting a fundraiser in September for Riley Hospital for Children here in Indiana. I am looking for donated Silent Auction items. I cannot even imagine what kind of dollars one of her books would bring in. I sent a request to Stephenie Meyer but I received no response.

You would probably go through her literary agency, Christopher Little.
