Using his experience and contacts, garnered through his 14 years as patron of Irish Autism Action, Keith will organise a variety of fundraising events with the aim of providing support and financial assistance to the foundation’s chosen charities. Support will be provided for people on the ground and will directly help individuals, families and schools, in particular.

Finn's First Steps will be the first beneficiary of the Keith Duffy Foundation, an initiative set up in the hopes of sending a young boy to the US to undergo a life-changing surgery. At the age of one, Finn was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy spastic diplegia, a condition which affects his legs, resulting in the muscles being held constantly tight and rigid.

Keith has been fundraising for autism for 14 years and after a productive and successful 10 years with Irish Autism Action, Keith is now putting his charity and fundraising experience to good use with this new foundation, aimed at providing support and financial assistance to a number of chosen children’s charities throughout the country
