Andy Murray set to donate £50 to help refugee crisis for every ace he scores

The 28-year-old said he was drove to this selfless act after seeing the pictures broadcast on the news in recent weeks of thousands of families forced to make dangerous journeys to Europe.
Andy said he will donate cash to Unicef for every ace he serves until the end of the year.


The father-to-be's sponsor Standard Life and the tennis governing bodies LTA and ATP have said they will match his donation, meaning every ace will be worth £200 to Unicef.
Announcing his commitment on Facebook, Andy wrote:

 "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."
