Andy Murray to donate prize earnings from rest of the season to help children in Ukraine
Tennis star and three-time grand slam champion Andy Murray is much more than just a tennis a player.
Murray announced on Tuesday on his Twitter that he is going to donate his earnings from the rest of the season to Ukraine in an effort to help children affected by the war.
Over 7.5m children are at risk with the escalating conflict in Ukraine, so I’m working with @UNICEF_uk to help provide urgent medical supplies and early childhood development kits. 1/3
