Marlboro Ducati's Nicky Hayden will sport a one-off Arai crash helmet at this weekend's Indaianapolis MotoGP round to support the Make A Wish charity which he has been involved with for five years.
The specially-painted lid will be auctioned off after the race and all the cash will go to the foundation which helps children with life threatening illnesses to realise their dreams.
“Indianapolis is probably the race I look forward to most - it's just three hours from my house and MotoGP now is becoming very popular. Last year it was a great weekend for me, the crowd was great and Indy did a great job in organizing their first race and made us proud of it," said Hayden.
"At Indy I will wear a special Arai helmet, but this time it really is “special”. It will carry the "Make A Wish" logo and other special designs, and after the race we will auction it off. All the money will go towards the foundation which helps kids' dreams come true. I have worked with this charity for five years now and it always feels good to help out such a solid cause, and yes, I have already made my wish for the weekend!"
