Rashford to 'keep fighting' after raising money for 3 million meals

Manchester United star Marcus Rashford vows to "keep fighting" after helping raise enough money to provide three million meals for vulnerable people in the United Kingdom.

The England striker worked with FareShare UK during the Premier League hiatus to raise roughly £20 million that will help provide food for almost 11,000 frontline charities and community groups.

"We had a goal that by end of June we would be able to supply three million meals to vulnerable people across the U.K.," Rashford tweeted Thursday. "Today we have met the financial goal to provide these meals. Thank you all so much for the support."

Rashford was recently awarded a High Sheriff Special Recognition Award for his contributions to the community of Greater Manchester during the ongoing COVID-19 crisis.

The 22-year-old said there is still much work to be done.

"And whilst I'm celebrating this, there is so much more to do. Trust me when I say, I will keep fighting until no child in the U.K. has to worry about where their next meal is coming from. This is England in 2020 and families need help," Rashford added.
