Following their mother Marie's death from breast cancer in 1998, the Keating family promised to try to provide all women and their families with vital information which could help them to prevent cancer or detect it at its earliest stages. Their collective aim is "making cancer less frightening by enlightening".
The Cancer Awareness Roadshow is on the road to beating cancer in the area's where we're most needed. The roadshow is made up of four teams of nurses who travel to the most deprived areas of the UK, speaking to the public about ways to reduce their risk of cancer.
Last year, guests were invited to board the Emeralds & Ivy Orient Express, for a spectacular evening paying homage to the train that forever changed luxury travel 140 years ago.
Guests enjoyed creativity, showmanship and entertainment from start to finish, including performances from Tom Chaplin and Ronan Keating.
