The great Michael Jordan decided to open his heart again on the occasion of his 60th birthday. The six-time NBA champion donated $10 million to the Make-A-Wish America Foundation. This is the largest donation ever made in the foundation's history. Jordan, who will turn 60 on Friday, hopes others will follow his example.
