A gift in your Will, helps us reach our vision of a world where people with cancer are comforted and supported to ease their journey.
For Blue Dot Army Inc, leaving a gift in your Will means we can continue to support people affected by cancer by focusing on the person, not the disease. We know many Australians will be diagnosed with one form of cancer or another during their lifetime. We also know how devastating a diagnosis can be and the journey ahead can be difficult to navigate and overwhelming at times. Blue Dot Army fills a ‘service gap’ by supporting people in several ways such as sitting in the waiting room with patients ensuring they are not alone. We may also contribute financially for people living remotely towards their accommodation, transport, food and petrol costs if they need to travel for treatment. What we have learned through this style of support is that we have reduced the stress surrounding the person’s cancer treatment. It has proven to us that changing a person’s experience, in a non-medical way, positively impacts their overall wellbeing.
The most important aspect to remember is to include Blue Dot Army Inc ABN 76 597 366 921 to ensure your gift is directed to us. Blue Dot Army recommends you seek independent professional advice if you wish to leave a gift in your Will.
