Nola's legacy of hope

Nola at her 100th birthday

From that moment, Nola resolved to support medical research in any way she could. She began making annual donations, a commitment that continued throughout her lifetime. Her quiet determination and steady generosity became a thread that wove through the decades – a personal promise to help bring hope to others facing the diseases that had touched her family so deeply.

Nola passed away in September 2024, just shy of her 101st birthday. To honour her remarkable life and her long devotion to research, her family chose to make a gift to the Malaghan in her memory.

“This bequest was a fitting way to honour her determination to support a cause she cared about,” says Sue, Nola’s daughter.

We are deeply grateful for legacies like Nola’s – stories of resilience, generosity and love that live on through the breakthroughs made possible by research. Legacy and in-memory gifts carry forward the values of those who give them, ensuring that their compassion continues to make a difference for generations to come.
