Leave a gift in your Will
Leaving a gift in your Will to the Leukaemia Foundation is a powerful act of love that ripples into the future and ensures no one faces a blood cancer diagnosis alone.
By including the Leukaemia Foundation in your Will, you’ll bring people with blood cancer the best possible care and wraparound support. Your act of generosity will help bridge the gap between research and real-world care, so more people have the opportunity to live well after diagnosis.
Whether you have a personal connection to the Leukaemia Foundation or simply believe in ensuring support for those who need it, your generosity is deeply appreciated.
A gift in your Will (also known as a bequest) helps provide essential services such as patient accommodation, financial assistance, counselling and information for people with all types of blood cancers including leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma.
Every gift, no matter the size, is a lasting act of love beyond your lifetime – one that helps ensure Australians with blood cancer can live well and feel supported every step of the way.
Need help?
The Leukaemia Foundation holds a bold vision – a future where every Australian affected by blood cancer receives the best possible care and support, with access to improved treatments and the hope of better outcomes. With the generosity of forward-thinking supporters, this vision will become a reality.
– Chris Tanti, CEO Leukaemia Foundation
