Microsoft founder Bill Gates said that he planned to give away almost all of his vast fortune , largely to the cause of global health , during the course of his lifetime . With an estimated（估計）worth of more than $ 40 billion , according to Forbes , the project will be no small feat （功績）for Gates .

Gates , was the head of the local Planned Parenthood , and his mother , Mary , volunteered for the United Way .
