From rocking horses to tractors, the unusual gifts bequeathed to Macmillan Cancer Support

[Jazzy]

Macmillan Cancer Support has disclosed some of the most unusual gifts that it has been left in people’s wills. Gifts in wills, of all shapes and sizes, account for more than a third of Macmillan’s total income; without them the charity couldn’t provide the support it does to people affected by cancer.



How wonderful of people to leave such gifts to the cancer charity. The world isn't as bad as I thought after all.
