A decision that made me very happy – Lindsay’s story
Kentucky south is a very small country town in NSW located 21 km from the larger Uralla. In the 1950’s it only had a post office, a railroad shed and a bus shelter. This is where Lindsay was born. As the third youngest from a family of ten children, Lindsay grew up within a close-knit family group. He especially recalls the affection and closeness of his aunt and uncle.
It was not long before Lindsay had to go further away, to the town of Barraba, to find work. He found employment in the mines. There, he drove 80 tonne dump trucks.
Now retired, Lindsay feels a strong connection with people living with multiple sclerosis even though he has never met anyone with this condition. Through his contact with MSL, he has learned much about the work the organisation does to help people with MS live their best lives.
Lindsay wanted to leave behind a testament of his values and continued support, so he decided to leave a gift in his will to MSL. Through MSL communications, he finds out about the work the organisation does. Lindsay knows that he is supporting a charity that he trusts - it is the one that is ensuring people with multiple sclerosis do not have to face it alone, now or in the future.
Lindsay was very excited when he called us to let us know that he has included MSL in his Will. This decision made him feel very happy.
Would you too like to leave a testament of your values? Whatever the amount, we are grateful. Any gift big or small will make a difference. You will provide future vital support for people living with multiple sclerosis.
