  Hmmmmm it depends how much money I won! If it was a few million I’d certainly donate a large amount of it to SMA research, and I’d use a lot of it for my own research – probably buying expensive equipment so that I can do better experiments!
  Although I’d also use some of the money to treat myself to a big house and an amazing car!
