Dying to Know Day (D2KDay) is an annual national day of action held on August 8th, to inspire you to begin to prepare for the inevitable, not with fear, but with purpose, love, and a sense of legacy.
The theme for 2025 – 2027 is Nobody Knows.
Nobody Knows is a cheeky, irreverent campaign designed to expose the absurdity of keeping your end-of-life wishes a secret. Because not telling anyone your final wishes is chaotic, confusing, and worst of all creates guesswork and potential family division.
At its core, Nobody Knows ‘The Secret I’m Glad I Shared’ is a call-out. Because if Nobody Knows your final wishes, they never will. Share them now.
