MuchLoved memories
Create a personalised tribute in memory of your loved one
We have partnered with MuchLoved who give you the opportunity to create your own special memorial area in tribute to your loved one, where you can share memories, thoughts and stories with family and friends as well as light candles, add music, photos and videos. Friends and family can also make donations if they wish, joining the Make 2nds Count family in giving hope to those affected by secondary breast cancer, knowing that the money raised will go on to help future generations in the years to come.

Any donations made will help us to continue giving hope to those affected by secondary breast cancer through funding research and offering support and education.
Flowers or a Donation to a Good Cause
Many people faced with organising a funeral decide to make a donation to a charity, instead of having flowers. Why not choose Make 2nds Count and help to give hope to others affected by secondary breast cancer.
Funeral Directors are happy to arrange this for you or you can set up a Funeral notice page here:
Leaving a legacy in your will
Once you have looked after your loved ones, we would also like you to think of Make 2nds Count. Any legacy small or big will make a huge difference and help us to continue giving hope to those affected by Secondary Breast Cancer.
Make 2nds Count funds medical research and support programmes that contribute to advancing an increased quality of life for Secondary Breast Cancer patients helping all those affected by this incurable disease.
Why should you have a will?
Whilst nobody wants to think about the end of their life, most of us would like to make sure that our wishes are followed. A will makes sure that your property, money and possessions, go where you want them to. It also cuts down on the cost of winding up an estate as estates without wills can be expensive and complicated to administer. It’s important for us all, young and old to have our affairs in order.
How do I leave a gift in my will?
There are a few things to consider when creating your will:
- Find a local solicitor to help with putting your will together. Go with someone you feel comfortable with.
- Find out how much your estate is worth (including your property, savings, pensions etc)
- Think about who you will be including (family members, friends etc) and who will be the overall ‘executor’ of your estate/will when you’re gone
- Think about what you would like to leave to your chosen charity
For you to leave a gift to Make 2nds Count, you/your solicitor will need to add a short paragraph into your will expressing your wish to do so. You can do this yourself but we do recommend using a solicitor to help you.
Including us in your will is so straightforward
Provide your Solicitor or Will writer with Make 2nds Count details.
