**With just three weeks to go until Remember A Charity in your Will Week, 12th –
18th September 2016, charities both large and small are busy preparing for what 
we hope will be our most vibrant campaign yet.**

The success of the Week relies on every charity being loud about legacies and showing
their supporters that they can make a difference to future generations.

We won’t give away too much for now, but thought we would cast your minds back to
a fantastic legend each week who has not only made their mark supporting charities
in their own lifetime and beyond, but encouraged many others to leave a legacy and
pass on something legendary to future generations.

After [Hugh’s abseiling feats](https://fundraising.co.uk/2016/08/15/inspiration-four-fantastic-legacy-legends/)
from last week’s blog, meet Briony Smith, legacy legend for Sue Ryder.

## Briony Smith

Age has no bounds for Briony Smith. To celebrate her 80th birthday last year, Briony
climbed Mount Snowdon to raise money for her local [Sue Ryder](http://www.sueryder.org/),
Leckhampton Court Hospice. To top it all off, having climbed the 3,560 feet to the
summit, she signed a pledge to leave the charity a gift in her Will to raise awareness
of legacy giving.

She has made a huge difference to the charity. Does your organisation have a Briony
in its midst who could inspire others in this way?

## Who is your Briony?

This year’s Remember A Charity Week will call on the British public to pass on something
legendary, tweeting their advice for future generations at **#MyWisdom** and remembering
a charity in their Will. Charities, Government, solicitors and Will-writers will
all come together to encourage the public to leave a gift to charity in their Will.

## What will you pass on?

It’s not too late to take part in Remember A Charity Week (12th-18th September 2016)
