Will-writing vital for sportspeople

Anyone who plays sport must consider writing a will to avoid dying in intestate if an accident were to occur.

With most sports posing a health risk, ensuring that affairs are in order is particularly important for those who engage heavily in physical exercise or dangerous pastimes.

Although exercise is beneficial for health, occasionally fatalities can occur.

Bupa has recently teamed up with the Ramblers to get people to adopt healthier lifestyles through walking.

Sue Moore, marketing and customer development director of Bupa Health and Wellbeing, stated: "We are always looking for ways to help people live healthier lives, and we know that walking is an excellent way to do that."

However, every year accidents befall ramblers, either through trips or falls, or getting lost in inclement weather.

While engaging in activities such as rambling is encouraged, making a will offers an extra level of protection should disaster strike.
