Make a difference for generations to come

Leave a gift in your Will

A gift in your Will is a simple yet powerful way to make a difference – in the future – for the people and causes that matter to you.

By leaving a gift in your Will, you will be ensuring that vital cancer research, life-saving prevention programs and support services can continue long into the future.

Anyone can leave a gift in their Will. Everyday Victorians, like you, do this because they care about the future and want to make a difference for those affected by cancer.
