Be Remembered for Caring - leaving a gift in your Will

How you can leave a gift in your Will to help cure children with cancer.   

The work KidsCan scientists carry out into new and improved treatments for childhood cancers relies entirely on the support of kind supporters like you.   

Each year, 1 in 500 children is diagnosed with cancer. 1 in 5 of these children does not survive the disease. A gift in your will (legacy) to KidsCan will make sure that the vital work carried out into childhood cancers continues and that these statistics are improved.   

If you have already made a Will
If you have already made a Will, but would like to leave a gift to KidsCan, you can do so by making a simple addition to your existing Will. This is called a codicil. By adding this supplement to your will you can include new instructions and delete old ones without having to revoke the whole Will.  

If you have not already made a Will
If you have not made a Will just yet then you may need to see a solicitor. Although you will have to pay a fee, you will receive professional advice and can be sure that your wishes are carried out.
