Why leave a gift in your Will to Cancer Research UK
• One in two of us will get cancer in our lifetime*. Research into diagnosis and treatment saves lives.
• Gifts in Wills fund a third of Cancer Research UK’s research, and are vital to accelerating progress to save more lives and best support those affected.
• A gift of £400 could pay for an exome sequencing experiment – used to find out more about our DNA, so our scientists can identify cancer-causing mutations.
• A gift of £4,000 funds the Cancer Chat online forum for one week, helping thousands of people through very difficult times by allowing them to connect and share stories with others.
• A gift of £4,500 buys a cell counter – a device that counts thousands of cells in seconds, helping scientists to find the most effective way to beat cancer.
• Every gift helps Cancer Research UK learn faster. By pledging a gift in your Will you can support Cancer Research UK’s vision to bring forward the day when all cancers are cured. *Ahmad AS et al. British Journal of Cancer, 2015.
