REEVES HAS HIS OWN CHARITABLE FOUNDATION

Reeves' foundation's primary aim seems to be to help fund cancer research and to give money to improve conditions in children's hospital wards.

Reeves sister Kim was diagnosed with leukemia in the 1990s, and she went into remission and recovered, but the experience sensitized the actor to the difficulties faced by sick children and their families.
