Why Your Legacy Matters: Building a Future Free from Aplastic Anaemia

At The Aplastic Anaemia Trust, we believe in the power of legacy.

For over 40 years, we’ve been working to change the story for people affected by aplastic anaemia. And the progress we’ve made - from life-saving research to vital patient support - has only been possible because of those who came before us, and those who have chosen to leave something behind.

We're recently launched a free Will  writing service and we’re asking: What will your legacy be?

Ted’s Legacy: A Promise to the Future

When Ted Gordon-Smith founded The Aplastic Anaemia Trust with a small group of families, there was no research, no support network, and no clear path for people facing this rare and life-threatening disease.

That had to change. And thanks to their determination - and the generosity of people like you - it has.

Forty years ago, I started this charity with a vision: to improve the lives of people affected by aplastic anaemia. I’ve seen firsthand how legacy gifts can transform lives - by pushing the boundaries of research, giving hope to families, and making real progress in improving treatments."
– Ted Gordon-Smith, Founder

Why Your Legacy Matters

Aplastic anaemia remains a rare and serious condition. Without long-term investment, progress could slow or stop altogether.

Legacy gifts have helped us come this far – and they’ll take us even further. It’s incredible to think that your legacy could change the future for someone living with Aplastic Anaemia.” – Ted Gordon-Smith, Founder

By leaving a gift in your Will, you can:

• Keep research moving forward
  
  

• Support patients and families when they need it most
  
  

• Raise awareness and drive change
  
  

• Build a future free from aplastic anaemia
  
  

Legacy gifts are the bridge between what we’ve achieved and the future we want to create. They are a promise - that our work won’t stop when grants run out or budgets tighten.
