Pratchett's donation appears to account for 1.5 months of the British funding towards Alzheimer's (numbers from http://web.archive.org/web/20080415210729/http://www.alzheimers-research.org.uk/news/article.php?type=News&archive=0&id=205, math from me) . Which is great and all, but public funding is way better. So I stand by my claim.

Ok, I stand corrected re: Pratchett. How did you come by the numbers? and can you research Reeve's impact too?

Until then, you've still "heard of one recent example" :)
