Following their mother Marie's death in 1998 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 all women and their families with the necessary information to prevent cancer or detect it at its earliest stages. Their collective aim was to “enlighten not frighten”.

The Marie Keating Foundation is the realisation of a family's dedication. Through three mobile information units the Foundation's dedicated nurses have enlightened almost 66,000 people of the causes and risk factors of breast and other cancers. “Men Keeping Fit” is now a successful annual campaign and has significantly raised awareness among men of testicular and prostate cancer.

The Foundation finances other areas of need in cancer care - Refurbishing hospital oncology waiting rooms - A comfort fund for those in financial difficulty as a result of their illness. We are committed to “raising awareness” among young people of cancer and its prevention. The Foundation provides its services free of charge.
