Wills & bequests

Wills & bequests

Gifts left to us in Wills are known as bequests, and are our largest single source of charitable income. Throughout our 70-year history, bequests have been responsible for enabling many advances in the cancer fight. Including a bequest in your Will today will help us plan life-saving research, prevention and support projects now and for generations to come.
