Troubled star Charlie Sheen has donated USD 10,000 to a charity focusing on helping people with epilepsy.
Sheen, 48, was on the set last week for his show 'Anger Management' when he saw a man, Casey Jones, plastering a wall with some posters seeking donation for The Walk To End Epilepsy, reported Ace Showbiz.
The posters featured Jones and his young grandson who was diagnosed with pediatric epilepsy at the age of three. Sheen, who is also a father of young children, apparently was touched by the story and donated him the hefty amount.
Apart from her philanthropy, Sheen has cancelled his appearance at the Baja Film Festival in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico because a private jet he boarded with his family had "potentially life threatening" issues.
