Mr Juttla's story

Mr Juttla is one of a growing number of people who are planning to put a gift to Cancer Research UK in their Will.

Like many, he has lost loved ones to cancer. "Eight members of my family have died of this disease," he explains. "But it was after my wife, Baldev, died of ovarian cancer that I decided I would remember the charity in my Will.

The next time I update it, I am going to make sure I still have left enough for my son and daughter. The rest of my estate will go to Cancer Research UK."
