Tributes

Remember a loved one in a positive and lasting way and help to prevent other people dying from cancer by leaving a tribute in their name with the Marie Keating Foundation.

Tributes contribute to our life-saving awareness work, which lead to earlier diagnosis and improved survival rates.


It only takes a few moments


It only takes a few moments to create a Tribute. You will just need to tell us a few details about yourself as well as the person that you are creating the tribute in memory of. You will also have the option to share the tribute with other friends and family who may also want to get involved or remember your loved one in some way.

If you would like, your tribute can appear on the Marie Keating Foundation website so that all who visit the page can honour the memory of your loved one.

    I too wanted to pay tribute to my father in law George Yeates who passed away in January from Prostate Cancer – he was an inspiration to us all and is hugely missed – every day there are situations where someone would make the remark – “as George would have said …”. I can only echo Liz’ s statement: I could have never asked for a better father in law!! Schlaf gut, George!
