It has been a sad few days for many of us here in the Indaba community. On February 21st an Indaba member many of you have come to know, Annie Thorogood, passed after struggling for years with Multiple Sclerosis. In the time that Annie was with us her words and music touched many.
Over her last months our community became increasingly important to her as she met new friends and even re-connected with old family through the site. She recently shared with us that, "Nowadays, I MAKE myself get up in the mornings, just in case I might have a message from anyone at Indaba."
We are saddened by our loss, but we hope that you will join us in remembering Annie and celebrating her life with the same joy that she brought to many of ours.
In this spirit, we invite you to help us in remembering Annie by taking part in the following three things:
- Please visit Annie's profile and view the comments from a few of the people she touched.
- Please listen to the session, Kaleidoscope For Annie. It is a musical collaboration for Annie and her family by some of her friends in the Indaba community.
- In memory of Annie, Indaba Music has made a donation to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. We invite you to do the same, in the hopes that one day we will conquer the disease, which has affected so many.
Thank you. Our thoughts are, and will remain, with the Thorogood family.

Hello Mantis and everyone in the Indaba Community who knew Annie.
My name is Tim and I am her oldest son. I want to thank you Mantis, for your kindness to my mother and to my family. It meant so much to her to be doing something with her music and to know that other people were interested in her music. You're amazing website and all of the kind, talented people in this community made this a reality for her. Everyone that ever met Annie immediately knew how talented she was and although there are many talented people in our family, there was never any argument that she was the star. You might not know this, but she was also an immensely talented visual artist. I hope to share her artwork with you all soon.
Finally, I want to thank everyone who had contributed to "Kaleidoscope For Annie". It's beautiful. It's taken me weeks to muster the courage to come visit the site and listen and I'm glad I did.
Thank you all.
