Michael Jordan makes huge $10m donation to charity on his birthday with emotional message

NBA legend Michael Jordan is celebrating his 60th birthday this week by making an incredible $10million (£8.3m) donation to Make-A-Wish.

It is the largest donation ever received from an individual in the organisation's 43-year history. Jordan's hope is that his decision to donate to Make-A-Wish to celebrate his birthday - which is on February 17 - will inspire others to help fulfil the wishes of the children still waiting for their wishes to come true.

Jordan, the owner of the 16-43 Charlotte Hornets, began supporting Make-A-Wish in 1989. The 59-year-old has granted hundreds of wishes to children around the world and remains one of the most requested celebrities for children working with the charity, despite walking away from professional basketball in 2003.
