The Prize

Win this Ayrton Senna official replica helmet produced to raise funds for the Ayrton Senna Foundation back in 1995. This collectable sold out worldwide back in the mid 1990's. The helmet was produced by Bell, Senna's supplier for most of his career for the Ayrton Senna Foundation in Senna's iconic yellow helmet design.

The helmet is for use in Go karts and motorcycles but is not mounted to the carbon finished base. The helmet features sponsor logos from the period of his three world championships at Mclaren as well as listing these winning years on the rear "88, 90, 91". The visor has the Honda logo, Honda of course powering him to all three of his world titles.

Also included is the limited edition Ayrton Senna pin badge collection that can be displayed on the wall or is free standing. This set was produced by the Ayrton Senna foundation during the 1990's. Two rare collectables from one of the most successful and loved Formula one drivers of all time.

The Cause

Ava Helene Atkinson was born on May 26, 2014, but because she was born so early, she experienced many health issues.

Ava was moved to the neo-natal unit where she was put on a ventilator to help her breathe. Hours later, Ava’s condition had not improved, and after discussions with the consultant it was decided that due to the severity of the health issues she had, we as parents had to make the most devastating decision of our lives, together with the care team, to withdraw treatment. Minutes after coming off the ventilator Ava passed away peacefully with her family around her.

Whilst at the hospital we were given a keepsake box in which we were able to have memories of Ava. These precious memories are there for us to look at and cherish. Her keepsake box has brought comfort to us all, so much so that we have decided we would like to put together our own memory boxes for other parents who have suffered the loss of a child.

We have decided to make these keepsake boxes ourselves and hope that these boxes will be looked at for years to come.
