Why pledge a legacy gift?
Lung Foundation Australia has been fighting lung disease for more than 25 years. We are the only national charity in Australia dedicated to supporting anyone with any lung disease.
Legacy gifts play a vital role in enabling better outcomes today, and in the future for Australians living with lung disease.
We all want to feel that we’ve contributed something that will last beyond our own lifetime – a lasting footprint that will be remembered by those whose lives you touched.
By making a legacy gift to Lung Foundation Australia you are leaving a lasting legacy that will help change the future for people with a lung disease.
