Justin Wilson led by example. His integrity, modesty, and kindness were unmatched. As a family man, and as a competitor, none were held in greater esteem. The amount of passion Justin Wilson held for the sport of racing was only eclipsed by his dedication to his family. While we mourn the loss of a friend, idol, and mentor, we can carry on his legacy as a father by supporting the family that survived him. (http://justinwilson.co.uk/donate)
