'Because I feel so passionately about Macmillan, having had a Macmillan nurse in my life, and my mother also having had a Macmillan nurse, we both felt it was important for us to leave some sort of legacy to Macmillan - for our personal reasons because of what Macmillan gave us through our own cancer journeys'

Lisa Donald talking about why she has left a gift in her Will to Macmillan.

If you're thinking of making a Will but you're not sure where to begin, you may find our Guide to making a Will [PDF, 36kb]  useful.

We would always recommend that you use a qualified solicitor when making or amending your Will. This ensures that it is properly constructed and that all your wishes are taken care of. We've put together some resources to help you with the process of making or updating your Will.
