After losing their mother to breast cancer in 1998, the Keating family set up the Marie Keating Foundation to help ensure men and women in every community in Ireland had access to the necessary information to prevent cancer or detect it at its earliest stages.

From their work in the community sharing lifesaving information on how to stay healthy and reduce your risk of cancer, to their support programmes for cancer patients and survivors, The Marie Keating Foundation have pledged to be with people at every step of their cancer journey.

Since the COVID-19 crisis hit our shores, the team at the Foundation are working tirelessly to ensure that cancer patients have access to information and support to help them though these challenging time. For those on cancer treatment, COVID-19 means cocooning and isolating from friends and family. The Marie Keating Foundation have converted many of their support services to online platforms to ensure they remain there for cancer patients, offering support when it is needed most. Unfortunately this comes at a time when their fundraising has been devastated with the cancellation of so many events and community fundraisers which they rely on so heavily. The Foundation receives very little government funding and is need of public support and the support of corporate partners, now more than ever. That’s why we are delighted to support such a worthy cause.
