By leaving a legacy to the Nystagmus Network in your will, you will be helping us to support people with nystagmus and fund more research into this complex condition. Writing a will is often something people forget to do. Yet this gives you the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your affairs are properly organised and that your wishes will be acted on.

You don't need to use a solicitor if you don't want to. A local legal advice centre might help or you could use a 'do it yourself' will available from high street stores. For advice about giving to charity through a legacy, see www.rememberacharity.org.uk. This website is part of a campaign to encourage people to leave money to charities in their wills. It sets out some important points:

• What to consider when writing or updating a will.
• How to give to the charity you want to support.
• How to find a solicitor if you want to use one but do not already have one.

Writing a will is not a particularly difficult or even expensive thing to do. But your generosity will make a difference to those who are affected by nystagmus. The important things to remember are:

• Remember not to put it off.
• Tell friends, family members and those you know who support the aims of the Nystagmus Network of your intentions and ask them to do the same.

Thank you. Your generosity is much appreciated.
