The Marie Keating Foundation is an Irish foundation focused on raising the awareness of cancer, and the importance of early detection and providing a range of support services for patients at every step of a cancer journey.[1] The charity was founded in 2001 by the Keating Family including Ronan Keating, and is one of the largest national cancer charities in Ireland.
The charity receives very little Government funding and relies mainly on fundraising and donations to continue to provide its free cancer support and education services. Initially focussing on breast cancer, the charity organisation has expanded in recent years to cancer information, awareness and support for all forms of cancer for both men and women.[2][3]
