LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - British tennis star Andy Murray has helped raise more than 83,000 pounds for Syrian refugee children by donating money for every ace he scored through his Andy's Aces initiative, the U.N. children's agency (UNICEF) said on Monday.
Murray, who is ranked world number two, announced in September he would donate 50 pounds for every ace he hit until the end of 2015.
He is the latest celebrity to donate money to Syrian war victims. Last month, actors Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher announced a $1 million donation to two charities working in Syria.
