I don’t like to attach my name to it, I just let the foundation do what it does.” Cancer research is a personal cause for Keanu. His younger sister, Kim Reeves, was diagnosed with leukemia around 1991 and battled the disease for about a decade before going into remission. “Money doesn’t mean anything to me. … I give lots away and live simply. … We all know that good health is much more important,” Keanu once said, according to Hollywood.com.
