The Ayrton Senna Institute was founded by Ayrton's family shortly after his death in 1994. Ayrton had been keen to formulate a plan to help underprivileged Brazilian children, believing in the importance of providing them with food, healthcare and a solid education. The Ayrton Senna Institute has identified problems and developed solutions that have assisted more than two million children, young people and teachers throughout his homeland. A portion of this book's proceeds will go towards funding the foundation's future work and endeavours.
