'Gifts in Wills save lives' says Cancer Research UK
dailyrecord.co.ukIt’s thanks in part, to Cancer Research UK's incredible supporters, including those leaving Gifts in Wills, that allows the charity to consistently fund world-class cancer research to help more people than ever survive their cancer.In the 1970s, just 1 in 4 people in the UK survived cancer for 10 years or more.
