Leave a legacy of hope
Give future generations a better chance of a cancer-free future with a gift in your Will.
With our ageing and growing population, cancer is on the rise.
In fact, the number of cancer cases is projected to nearly double over the next 25 years. Research is our best hope of easing the cancer burden once and for all.
By leaving a gift in your Will to Cancer Research Trust New Zealand, you could help fuel the next breakthrough in cancer research, giving future generations a better chance of fighting cancer and a cancer-free future.
Why leave a gift in your Will?
Leaving a gift in your Will - after your loved ones have been provided for - is a powerful way you can care for the people you love beyond your lifetime. It will ensure Cancer Research Trust New Zealand will continue to fund innovative cancer research and change the course of cancer in Aotearoa. You don’t need to be wealthy to make an impact. Leaving just 1% to Cancer Research Trust New Zealand in your Will with the remaining 99% going to those closest to you will make a world of difference.
