A gift of hope in your Will can ensure our work continues to make a difference to the lives of cancer patients and their families. Join others who have left a lasting gift though their Will.
Your decision to leave a bequest will be an enduring legacy that can be applied to a range of vital programs, in either medical research or patient support. Funds can be directed to honour your preference. A bequest is a generous and powerful gift that will be cherished beyond your lifetime.
