Keanu Reeves reportedly donated 70% of his earnings from the original The Matrix — more than $30 million — to leukemia research.

For him, it wasn’t just charity. It was personal.

His sister, Kim, was diagnosed with leukemia in 1991 and battled the disease for nearly a decade. During that time, Reeves became her primary caregiver and helped fund her treatment and recovery.

After the franchise’s massive success, he quietly established a private foundation supporting cancer research and children’s hospitals — without attaching his name to it.

No press tours.
No branding.
Just impact.

In an industry obsessed with headlines, sometimes the most powerful stories are the ones told in whispers.
