Bequests

Thank you for considering including the Cancer Council in your Will.

Including the Cancer Council in your will is a simple and effective way to fight cancer. Anyone can include the Cancer Council in their Will - even a modest contribution can make a big difference.

A bequest in your Will can help fund a research program, or help us maintain our important advocacy, education and support services.

Leaving a bequest to the Cancer Council is simple and easy to do. Bequests can also be directed towards a particular area that you feel is important.

As non-government organisations, we rely on community support for our efforts to fight cancer through:

• Research to discover the causes of cancer and improve treatment. In 2008 the Cancer Council will provide more than $49 million for cancer research.
• Education and awareness campaigns that save lives by preventing cancer and detecting it earlier.
• Services for people with cancer, their families and carers - including support groups, palliative and hospice care, accommodation for cancer patients having treatment, financial assistance and resources.
• Information and support through the Cancer Council Helpline a free* national service (more than 150,000 Australians call for information and support every year).
• Advice to doctors and other health professionals about prevention and best treatment.

* local call cost anywhere in Australia.
