In 2001 Vera Anderson died having never fulfilled her dream of travelling the world, but she didn't let that stop her.
Her last wish was that her ashes be placed in 241 little bags and sent to mail company chiefs in 50 American states and 191 countries, along with a letter asking them for their help.
Every single one of them respectfully obeyed her wish, scattering her ashes in places such as Lake Titicaca, at Shinto temple in Japan, the ice caps of Antarctica and even the Sahara desert, proving that where there's a Will there's a way.
That's why if we all leave a gift in our Will to charity as well as our family, we can achieve something just as amazing. We can make sure that charities continue to survive in all the places that Vera's ever visited.
Make your last wishes something to remember.
