Hi friends, family and fans!



On August 14th, 2010, I'm playing soccer for African youth.



That means I'm participating in the Rock the Court Pitch Soccer Tournament. This one-of-a-kind event gives local sports fans a unique opportunity: to play a little footie with a collection of indie rockers, former professional soccer players and local media personalities in a fun-filled, action-packed, event that raises funds for war-affected youth in northern Uganda, Democratic Republic of Congo and southern Sudan.



I'm hoping you can help me reach my fundraising goal by game day. It's easy! Just click on "sponsor me" and email anyone else you think would want to contribute to the cause.



I imagine myself as a child in the midst of war. To witness the slaughter of people I love... to be born into such a situation.
Wow...I've had nightmares, but to experience this as reality is unimaginable.
I do very much want to be part of planting/watering the seeds of peace and love, and to fight for us to enjoy life as a collective on this Earth. There's NO REASON why we ALL shouldn't be given the right to enjoy our lives. I have faith in LIFE, and that we can collectively experience LOVE together in a world of harmony.



I believe the strongest forms of love come from the strongest of suffering and in that belief, the war child is who will lead us to real love. PEACE





Thanks for your support of Athletes for Africa!
