Murray donates prize money to Ukraine appeal

Andy Murray is to donate his prize money from tournaments for the rest of the year to UNICEF’s Ukraine appeal.

Murray said he was working with the United Nations children’s agency to help victims of the conflict.

“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,” Murray tweeted.

“It’s vital education continues, so UNICEF is working to enable access to learning for displaced children, as well as supporting the rehabilitation of damaged schools, together with replacement equipment and furniture.

“I’m going to be donating my earnings from my prize money for the rest of the year, but anyone in the UK can support UNICEF’s humanitarian response by donating to our appeal.”
