Bequests

Every year around 4,200 rangatahi have their world turned upside down by cancer and face the toughest challenge of their lives. Thanks to the generosity and ongoing commitment of our supporters, CanTeen can provide life-changing support for over 600 rangatahi every year. But for every rangatahi we help, there is another six we can’t. A gift in your Will, no matter what size, is an amazing way to help ensure rangatahi never have to face cancer alone.

“I remember being so scared during my treatment. I just can’t imagine how hard it must be for a young person facing the same experience.” Raewyn Kellett is a long-time supporter of CanTeen and when she reached her 20th anniversary of remission from breast cancer she decided to leave a gift in her Will to support rangatahi impacted by cancer. “Leaving a bequest in my Will allows me to extend the hand of support to young New Zealanders dealing with the same pain and confusion I faced. If I can help even one young person to feel less alone during their cancer journey and really make the most of life while they can, then I will feel that I have really made a difference.”
