adminLondon — Andy Murray has pledged £50 to children’s charity Unicef for every ace he hits for the rest of the year after being moved by television images of refugees fleeing to Europe. His sponsors Standard Life, along with tennis bodies the LTA and ATP, have pledged to match the world number three’s donations so that every ace will be worth £200.
“Having seen the images broadcast on the news in recent weeks I felt I had to do something to help the millions of children and their families who have been forced to flee their homes and had their lives turned upside down,” the Scot said in a statement.
“I’ll get that little bit more satisfaction from each ace I hit knowing that it will be helping Unicef keep children safe.” — Reuters
