The Most Important New Year’s Resolution

The Most Important New Year's Resolution

As we welcome in the new year many of us will reflect on the things we’re thankful for. Though it may not be the first thing on your mind, ensuring that you have a Will and that it is up-to-date is an important part of planning for your family and loved one’s future.

Having a Will can give you peace of mind that your belongings will go to people who treasure them, and it’s also an opportunity to support the causes closest to your heart.

Yet only around 50% of Australian adults have a valid Will.

To help close the gap, we’ve partnered with online Wills platforms Gathered Here and BARE to help you Write a Will for free, allowing you to prepare your Will in minutes.

Take 10 minutes today to complete your free Will online and protect what you love.

Please note: Gathered Here and BARE's online Will-writing services are free, whether or not you decide to leave a bequest to Bowel Cancer Australia.

Leaving a Gift To Bowel Cancer Australia

Whilst it’s not a requirement, writing a Will also gives you the opportunity to leave a lasting gift to Bowel Cancer Australia.

Bowel cancer is now the deadliest cancer for people aged 25-44. In Australia since the year 2000, the risk of being diagnosed with bowel cancer before the age of 40 has more than doubled.

By leaving a gift in your Will to Bowel Cancer Australia, no matter how small, you are helping to create a world without bowel cancer. Your legacy gift can help fund vital research into the causes, prevention and treatment of bowel cancer and/or will help us to continue supporting, informing and caring for people affected by the disease.
