The fans of The Rock are absolutely crazy about him. While his outstanding talent is the main reason for this, another important reason is that the superstar is always there for his supporters. Besides his achievements, his charitable work continues to inspire everyone around him.
The Hollywood star is the founder of the ‘Dwayne Johnson Rock Foundation’. It is a charitable organization that helps children with disabilities, disorders, and illnesses improve their self-esteem. It also helps children with nutrition programs.
In addition, 12 different causes such as cancer, Parkinson’s disease, Education, AIDS, Disaster Relief, Health, and others are reportedly supported by Johnson. Not only that, he is reported to spend time with such patients.
