WRITE YOUR WILL FOR FREE

Write your will for free with Safewills

We’re proud to partner with Safewill for Free Wills Fortnight, giving you the opportunity to create your Will online for free from Friday 4 September to Monday 21 September 2026.

Normally valued at around $160, Safewill’s secure and easy-to-use platform allows you to write a legally valid Will. Write your will today:

  • for free until 21 September
  • in the comfort of your own home
  • to protect the people you love
  • to ensure your wishes are clearly documented
  • to bring hope to patients and families facing brain cancer.

Why having a will matters

A Will is one of the most important gifts you can leave your loved ones. It provides clarity during a difficult time and helps ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes. It can also give you and your family peace of mind knowing everything in order.

Whether you haven’t got around to it yet, or haven’t found the right option yet, you can take advantage during Free Wills Fortnight, when it’s easier (and cheaper!) than ever to take this important step.

Creating a legacy of hope

As part of the process, you’ll have the opportunity to leave a gift in your Will to the Mark Hughes Foundation.

There is absolutely no obligation to do so. Your family and loved ones should always come first.

However, after looking after those closest to them, many of our supporters choose to leave a legacy gift that reflects the causes and values they have championed throughout their lives.

A gift in your Will can help fund groundbreaking brain cancer research, support patients and families during their most challenging moments, and continue the fight for better treatments and outcomes for future generations facing brain cancer.

It’s a powerful way to ensure your impact continues long into the future.

Together, we can change the future of brain cancer

The support of our community has always been at the heart of everything we achieve. Through research, patient care and advocacy, we are creating real change, and gifts left in Wills play an important role in helping sustain that impact for years to come.

If writing a Will has been on your to-do list, there’s never been a better time to do it.

Protect your loved ones. Plan for the future. Leave a legacy of hope.
