Write your Will, Save a Life?

Two Wheels for Life, the charity which provides motorcycles for health workers in sub-Saharan Africa, is now offering a free will writing service. Applicants can write their will online, by phone and there’s even a limited number of face-to-face solicitor appointments available, all for free. All are provided by Farewill, the UK’s biggest will writing service.

Now you might expect that Two Wheels for Life is expecting any successful applicant to leave them a healthy legacy, but apparently not. “It is not essential to leave us a gift in your will when using our free wills service,” reads a statement on the charity’s website, “but we’d love you to consider giving to Two Wheels after taking care of those important to you.”

One of motorcycling’s well-established charities, Two Wheels for Life provides 125cc bikes, plus training, kit and maintenance support for African health workers, enabling them to reach isolated communities which would otherwise have little access to professional medical services. It also points out that two-thirds of British adults don’t have a will, and that having one is of great benefit to those left behind.

Jim Freeman, chair of the BMF said, “Very generous offer, I can’t recommend getting a will sorted out highly enough. I’d also recommend keeping it up to date, I have recent experience of helping to sort out a friend’s estate, they had a will but it was written in the last century and their circumstances had changed radically in the intervening quarter century, prior to their recent death.”
