British rider Jake Dixon is gearing up for the Silverstone Grand Prix with a special helmet. The Jerez race winner will wear a unique design created by six-year-old Luca Guintoli, son of World Superbike champion Sylvain Guintoli, who was diagnosed with cancer last July. The helmet features a blue hand on a white background with the phrase “Vai apanhá-los” and the British flag, paying tribute to Dixon’s heritage.
A Special Tribute
Luca, who has been battling cancer, designed the helmet himself. Despite his tough fight, the young boy’s creation will be worn by Dixon during the entire weekend at Silverstone. The helmet is more than just a symbol of support – it’s a testament to Luca’s strength and courage.
Dixon expressed his admiration for the design, saying he’s honored to wear it during the British Grand Prix. The helmet will be donated to a charity chosen by the Guintoli family after the event, with the goal of raising money to help children in need.
A Message of Hope
Dixon’s decision to wear the helmet is a message of solidarity and encouragement to Luca and his family. The British rider wants to raise awareness about Luca’s struggle and show his support for the young boy’s brave battle against cancer.
Luca’s story has touched the hearts of many in the motorsport community, including Dixon. The six-year-old’s father, Sylvain Guintoli, has been keeping fans updated on his son’s condition, sharing news of his progress and setbacks on social media.
Recently, Guintoli shared a heartwarming update, saying Luca had his best day since falling ill in July. The young boy has undergone several surgeries and chemotherapy sessions, but his spirit remains unbroken.
A Symbol of Hope
The helmet designed by Luca will be a symbol of hope and resilience during the Silverstone Grand Prix. As Dixon takes to the track, he’ll be carrying a message of support and encouragement for Luca and his family. The British rider’s gesture is a testament to the power of sports to inspire and uplift, even in the toughest of times.
With the helmet, Dixon aims to raise awareness about Luca’s story and the importance of supporting children with cancer. The donation of the helmet to charity will help raise funds for those in need, making a tangible difference in the lives of young people affected by the disease.
