Crocus Men's Den

21/06/2026

In honour of Father’s Day, we would like to pay tribute to our community of men who are living with cancer, on active treatment or those who are navigating life after cancer. We also honour the men we have known and stood with who have passed.

Your stories inspire others to speak out, reach out and seek valuable support.

We would also like to pay tribute to the men our nurses meet out in communities around Ireland, ready to listen, learn ways to support cancer prevention and early detection for themselves and their families. To the fathers of the future our nurses speak to in schools around Ireland, apply what you learn and continue to teach others.

We urge more men to reach out, ask questions, seek support.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there and our thoughts are with anyone for whom the day may be painful, please be gentle with yourself.

Smoking is the biggest single cause of untimely death amongst men on the island of Ireland. Indeed, worldwide it has killed more people than both World Wars put together!

However, the good news is that these smoking-related deaths are preventable. So, make 2026 the time to quit.

The very moment that you stop smoking your health starts to improve. If you would like to live longer, have more energy, feel less stressed, have better s*x, strengthen your body’s immune system ... think about kicking the habit.

There’s loads of help available. Start today, by checking out https://quit.ie [RoI] or https://stopsmokingni.info [NI]

"Embarrassingly, it took a cancer diagnosis for me to actually take a moment & start to think about my own mental & physical wellbeing. Fortunately, though I did & as a result have never felt better. I'm absolutely convinced that my daily walk has been an integral part of this & would encourage all that are able, to consider doing likewise."

John Wall is a fierce advocate, patient ambassador and friend to the Foundation who is living his best life with stage 4 prostate cancer.

As Monday sees the start of Men's Health Week 2026 we want to remind you that you can take positive steps to improve your diet, increase activity and schedule regular check-ups to support your health at any stage of your life. Not only for cancer prevention but to support optimal health for those on a cancer journey.

The Marie Keating Foundation are here to support you every step of the way by providing information, support, and advice.

There are a number of modifiable lifestyle factors for Cancer Prevention.

From moving more, drinking less, to going for cancer screenings when you are eligible you can help to reduce the risk of some of Irelands most common cancers.

Physical activity is for all and has so many benefits to our physical and emotional wellbeing.

Make time to move this weekend and support body and mind! Our 100km in 30 Days challenge makes moving more achievable and you get to raise awareness and support funding our vital services too.
