Welcome to the Marie Keating Foundation website
About the Foundation:
Following their mother Marie’s death in 1998 from breast cancer, each member of the Keating family promised that they would do everything they could to bring an end to breast cancer. They committed to provide women and their families with the necessary information to prevent cancer or detect it at its earliest stages. Their collective aim was making cancer less frightening by enlightening. The Marie Keating Foundation is the realisation of a family’s dedication, it is a promise to themselves in action.
From small beginnings the Foundation now educates men and women in relation to each of the key cancers; breast, cervical, skin, lung, prostate, bowel and testicular cancer. The Foundation focuses on cancers that are affected by lifestyle choices and its nurses work hard to ensure that men and women are made aware of the importance of a healthy lifestyle as well as early detection as key preventative measures.
The Foundation relies on fundraising to provide its services as receives no government funding. From our corporate supporters, to those who take part in marathons or raise money at local fundraising events to thoses who purchase our wedding favours for their guests; we are eternally grateful to everyone who supports our work, in any way, big or small. With your help we strive to achieve our ultimate goal of a world free from the fear of cancer.
