Author J.K. Rowling has given $15.4 million to set up a clinic to treat and research multiple sclerosis, the disease that killed her mother in 1990.
The creator of Harry Potter said Tuesday that the Anne Rowling Regenerative Neurology Clinic will be based at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, and that she hopes it will become "a world center for excellence in the field of regenerative neurology."
The university said Rowling's gift is the largest single donation it has received.
