Leave a lasting legacy
The story of a child’s life shouldn’t include cancer. Every child should get the chance to grow up and grow old, to plan exciting futures and chase their dreams.
Those children who survive their cancer often have lifelong side-effects. The fear of it lurks in every unexplained pain, every sniffle. Life is never truly carefree again.
We can and we will find a cure. But we need to work together. A gift in your Will has the power to change the world for these children. It is a legacy of hope. You can help bring back the joy into so many young lives.
You can change a child’s story with a gift in your Will.

Although the thought of relapse is definitely nerve-wracking, we just keep reminding ourselves of the goals we've kicked because Harper has responded so well to her treatment. Thank you so much Children's Cancer Institute for your relentless efforts to find treatments and a cure for childhood cancer.”

How to leave a gift in your will
A straightforward way to support Children’s Cancer Institute in your Will is to leave a percentage of your estate after any specific and cash gifts have been made to you loved ones. This is known as a residuary gift. It protects the other parties in your Will and remains unaffected by inflation and other changes. You can also choose to give a specific amount of money (know as a pecuniary gift) or a specific asset, for example property or shares.

Step 1 – Have a chat
