Jenson will be participating in this year's London Triathlon as part of his Formula One fitness programme and to raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which brings dreams to reality for children and young people fighting life-threatening illnesses.
"I have had the pleasure of meeting lots of kids who are supported by the charity at our tests and races," says Jenson. "It's a real privilege to be involved with them. The kids are so inspirational and hopefully we can raise enough money to fulfil as many of their dreams as possible."
The race covers a 1500m swim, 40km bike ride and a 10km run, which Jenson is challenging himself to complete: "I'm aiming to finish in the top 10%, so no pressure!"
