Daniel Ricciardo is hoping to raise some much needed funds for multiple charities in aid of the Australian bushfires.
Australia has been hit by huge bushfires which have devastated massive areas of the country, killed 24 people, destroyed more than 1,200 homes and it’s also estimated than some 500 million animals have died.
In an effort to raise funds, Renault Formula 1 driver Ricciardo will raffle off the race suit he will wear at the season-opening Australian Grand Prix in March.
“As pretty much the whole world is aware of now, Australia is suffering with some severe devastating bushfires,” the 30-year-old communicated via Instagram.
“Anyone who is kind enough to donate, please do.
“There’s the Australian Red Cross and there’s WIRES wildlife rescue. I’m sure there’s a bunch more but these are two I’ve donated to and please do the same if you can.
“My race suit I’ll race with at this year’s Australian Grand Prix. I’ll sign that and we’ll raffle that and all proceeds will go to those two charities as well.”
Ricciardo confirmed that further details on the raffle would be communicated in due course.
