JDRF is now Breakthrough T1D – welcome to our next chapter. Learn about our evolution.

Leave a legacy

You may be reading this page because you want to leave a legacy of changing the future for type 1 diabetes (T1D). Someone close to you may live with T1D, or perhaps you have been diagnosed with the condition yourself.

You may be here because you believe in the power of scientific breakthroughs, as well as Breakthrough T1D’s investment in research to find cures and improve lives. Or you may be here because you are committed to Breakthrough T1D’s vision of a world without T1D, and you want to help make that a reality as quickly as possible.

No matter your reason, we hope you’ll consider supporting us with a gift in your Will (also known as a bequest), to ensure we can continue driving T1D research progress forward.

By doing so, your belief in a better future for T1D in Australia will live on.

Your generosity will have a lasting impact on all members of the T1D community, leaving an exceptional legacy of improving the lives of many families throughout Australia and around the world for future generations.

About your Will

Including a charitable gift in your Will won’t impact your wealth during your lifetime, but it will have a meaningful impact on the world after you’ve gone.

Writing a will is also an act of love for those around you. It can reduce emotional and financial stress on your loved ones, and let them clearly know your wishes.

Breakthrough T1D has partnered with Gathered Here to assist you in writing your will, free of charge.

Download our booklet to learn how – in just 10 minutes – you can easily write your Will, allowing you to make important preparations for your family. It’s also simple to pledge a meaningful gift to a cause you care about, like Breakthrough T1D.

Disclaimer: This is not legal advice. For advice on your personal circumstances and creating or amending your Will, speak to your legal advisor. Please note that laws pertaining to Wills vary between states and territories.

Having lived with type 1 diabetes since age 11, I have been the beneficiary of many advancements in treatment, technology, and awareness led by Breakthrough T1D. Contributing a gift in my Will to Breakthrough T1D will help continue the life-saving and life-changing mission of the organisation. Leaving a gift in my Will connects me even closer to the type 1 diabetes community and ensures that our collective hope will prevail.
