Leaving a Legacy | Safewill x MND Victoria
August 30, 2026
Lucy's Legacy
Lucy's dad, John, was diagnosed with MND last year.
MND Victoria has been there every step of the way for John and his family, from offering advice and support through our Advisor and Support Coordinator service, to equipment from our Equipment Loan Library.
When Lucy found out about the opportunity to create a free, legally-valid Will through Safewill, Lucy took up the offer - and chose to leave a bequest in her Will for MND Victoria.
"My dad, John, was diagnosed with MND in July 2025. It’s a devastating diagnosis, and I’m constantly in awe of his resilience.
MND Victoria has been an incredible support to our family from Day 1. Our MND Adviser (shout out Annabel!) has been a calm, clear haven amidst the chaos, and the Equipment Library has provided practical help when we’ve needed it most — often making life just that little bit easier.
Earlier this year, I discovered that I could make a free will through Safewill. The process was incredibly straightforward, and it was great to finally tick that life admin tasks off my to-do list.
What I hadn’t realised was how easy it is to leave a gift to a registered Australian charity in your will. For me, it was a no-brainer to leave a portion of my estate to MND Victoria. I’ve seen first-hand the difference their support makes to families like ours. It's nice knowing that my future contribution will help ensure that MND Victoria can continue to provide this support to families who need it."
Leave a gift in your Will
A bequest is more than a gift – it’s lasting support for families impacted by MND.
Leaving a gift in your Will (a bequest) is a powerful way to create a future where every Victorian impacted by motor neurone disease receives the best possible care, support, and equipment they need.
By choosing to remember MND Victoria in your Will, you are leaving a legacy beyond your lifetime and helping us provide vital services for years to come.
