Leave a Legacy

Leaving a gift in your Will is one of the most powerful ways you can create a brighter future for kids with cancer

It’s not about the size of the gift, but the impact it creates

Just 1% of your estate will support groundbreaking research and give hope for 100% survival with no long-term health impacts.

Every contribution helps bring us closer to a future where no child dies from cancer.

Why your gift matters

Too many children still face harsh treatments not designed for their cancers, but research is giving families new hope. 

Thanks to supporters like you, programs such as the ZERO Childhood Cancer Program are transforming how children are treated. Using precision medicine to tailor individual treatments, doctors can better understand a child’s cancer to develop kinder and more effective treatments.

For children like Charli, this research was life-changing. After an aggressive leukemia diagnosis, a personalised treatment approach gave her family renewed hope.


Leaving a gift in your Will helps fund groundbreaking childhood cancer research, driving the development of treatments like Charli's. It not only improves survival rates but also helps children live healthier lives after treatment, bringing hope to families when they need it most.

Coral’s story  

After losing multiple loved ones to cancer, Coral made a powerful decision to leave a $10,000 gift in her Will to support life-saving research. 

“I hope the little bit I’m leaving does some good for the children. Without the research, nothing will change. But if people continue to give, the scientists will find solutions."

Her legacy is one of hope for all children and families facing cancer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I consider leaving a gift

Leaving a gift in your Will is a powerful way to create lasting change. It helps fund vital research into kinder, more effective treatments for children with cancer - giving future families hope for better outcomes.

Can I leave a gift in my Will and still take care of my family?

Yes. Your loved ones always come first. Many people choose to leave a gift after they’ve provided for family and friends, often as a percentage of what remains. Even a small gift can have a meaningful impact.

What types of gifts can I leave?

You can choose what works best for you. This might be a specific amount, a percentage of your estate (known as a residual gift), or particular assets such as shares or property.

What is a ‘bequest’?

A bequest is simply another word for a gift left in a Will. It means choosing to leave something you own (such as money, assets, or a portion of your estate) to a person or organisation.

How do I include a gift to The Kids’ Cancer Project?

Leaving a gift in your Will to The Kids’ Cancer Project is simple. Include our correct name and ABN, and the gift you would like to leave. We recommend working with a solicitor to ensure your Will is valid. Suggested wording: “I give (a percentage of my estate/the residue of my estate/a specific amount) to The Kids’ Cancer Project ABN 13 061 138 181 for its general charitable purposes.”

What if I already have a Will?

If you already have a Will and wish to include a gift to The Kids' Cancer Project, you can update it by adding a codicil. A codicil is a legal document used to modify an existing Will and must be properly signed, dated and witnessed. For more complex changes, you may need to create a new Will. A solicitor can guide you on the best option for your circumstances.

Do I need a solicitor to write or update my Will?

While it’s possible to write your own Will, we recommend speaking with a solicitor to ensure everything is clear, legally valid, and reflects your wishes. This can give you peace of mind that your legacy will be carried out as intended.

Do I have to tell you if I’ve included a gift?

Leaving a gift in your Will is a deeply personal decision, and there is no obligation to let us know. However, if you choose to share your intentions with us, we would love the opportunity to thank you and keep you updated on the life-changing impact your future gift will have.
