Include a Charity Week 7 – 13 September 2015

8 September 2015

During the week of 7 – 13 September, MS Research Australia, Include a Charity and 140 other charities across Australia will be actively promoting the value of a bequest to society as well as remembering their loved ones.

It’s a common misconception that only very wealthy people leave money to charity when they die. The reality is that most bequests are made by ordinary, hardworking people who want to make a positive difference to causes they care about after they’re gone.

However large or small, a bequest to MS Research Australia will make a difference. It will allow Australia’s leading MS researchers to focus their attention on finding the cause and cure for MS. Medical research is moving rapidly and each new discovery takes us closer to a world free of MS.

If you would like more details about leaving a bequest to MS Research Australia, please call 1300 356 467 or visit our bequests information page.
