Charity
Following the death of their mother, Marie, 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 - it is a promise to themselves, in action.
To achieve this we:
- Increase awareness and knowledge on cancer and issues related to it to all sectors of the community.
- Promote early detection and treatment.
- Provide support services to those affected by cancer where identified gaps exist.
- Work closely with various cancer-related groups and organisations to complement and optimise efforts to eradicate cancer as a life threatening disease.
We focus on cancers that can be prevented through lifestyle changes and early detection and our ultimate goal is a future free from the fear of cancer.
