Cause
Following their mother Marie’s death in 1998, the Keating family promised that they would do everything they could to bring an end to cancer. They committed to provide all families with the necessary information to prevent cancer or detect it at its earliest stages. The mission of the Foundation is to make cancer less frightening by enlightening.
Response
The Foundation provides support to those affected by cancer through a variety of programmes and services.
Projects
-
Through its community information service, the Foundation’s dedicated nurses have enlightened over 200,000 people of the causes and risk factors of cancer. The Foundation is continuing to expand its awareness campaigns on each of the most common cancers affecting both men and women in Ireland.
-
Through its Comfort Fund, the Marie Keating Foundation provides financial assistance to people who are currently receiving treatment for any kind of cancer and who, as a result, find themselves in financial difficulty.
