Why leave a gift in your will?
There are many reasons why people decide to leave a gift in their will. It might be because someone they know has survived cancer thanks to an early diagnosis. For others, it might be that they’ve lost someone to cancer. Whatever the reason, your gift will enable us to help future pancreatic cancer patients and survivors to ensure that one day, everyone suffering from pancreatic cancer has a better chance of survival.
