Leave a lasting impact with a gift to Diabetes Victoria in your will
He values giving back to his community and this is reflected in his will.
While his small town is enriched by his generosity, for three decades Gordon has turned to Diabetes Victoria for support.
“I’m leaving a gift to Diabetes Victoria in my will because they deliver essential services for people with diabetes,” he explains.
“I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 30 years ago and one of the first things I did was join Diabetes Victoria as a member.
“I started receiving the quarterly magazines which were helpful, and I talked to the diabetes nurses and educators, and took advantage of the other services they had available.
“Diabetes Victoria also supports diabetes research and that’s important to me. I want researchers to find a cure.”
A brighter future for people with diabetes
All types of diabetes are growing at an unprecedented rate. 90 Victorians are diagnosed every day.
Diabetes Victoria is working towards a future where people with diabetes live well and longer, and where there is a cure for, or prevention of, all types of diabetes.
Your bequest can help achieve this brighter future, where people with diabetes will have better access to healthcare, support, treatments and technologies.
Protect what matters most to you
Gordon says the process of writing his will was simple. “Diabetes Victoria sent me a bequest information pack in the post, free of charge.”
“Writing my will cost nothing and took less than 10 minutes. My bequest is for free funds, so Diabetes Victoria can use it as they need it.
“I wanted my estate to be put to some practical use, and this way Diabetes Victoria can help others who live with the same condition I have managed for so many years.”
