JK Rowling steps down from MS Society Scotland
JK Rowling steps down from MS Society Scotland Fans may remember that she has played a big role in raising for Multiple Sclerosis research, and today we've learned that Jo has stepped down as patron of MS Society Scotland. This, after she revealed she cannot "in good conscience, continue to be the public face of a charity that is changing beyond recognition from the one with which I have been so proud to be associated."

You can read a longer statement from Jo, as well as a response from MS Society Scotland, at this link.

Quotes
I tell you, that dragon's the most horrible animal I've ever met, but the way Hagrid goes on about it, you'd think it was a fluffly little bunny rabbit. When it bit me, he told me off for frightening it. And when I left, he was singing it a lullaby.

Ron Weasley
Sorcerer's Stone, Chapter 14, Page 237
