With help from his wife Corinna, seven-time Formula 1 World Champion Michael Schumacher has signed a helmet for an upcoming charity auction with the initials 'MS,' per a report from the Daily Mail. There are several additional signatures on the helmet, including all of the other living F1 World Champions.

The helmet will be auctioned off to raise funds for Sir Jackie Stewart’s Race Against Dementia charity. Stewart's wife Helen was diagnosed with the disease in 2014. The organization is aiming to fund a new blood test trial that is currently being developed by the University of Cambridge.

The old-school white helmet, featuring a Royal Stewart tartan band around the top, was worn by the three-time world champion during his racing career. The helmet will be showcased Sunday at the Bahrain Grand Prix where the 85-year-old Stewart will do an exhibition run around the track in his 1973 title-winning Tyrrell 006, while wearing the helmet intended for auction.

Stewart told the Daily Mail: "It is wonderful that Michael could sign the helmet in this worthy cause – a disease for which there is no cure. His wife helped him, and it completed the set of every single champion still with us."

Schumacher, who last raced an F1 car during the 2012 season, ended his career as the winningest driver in the sport's history until Lewis Hamilton toppled his record a few years later. The German racing legend has been absent from the public eye since a tragic accident in December of 2013 while skiing that left him with a serious head injury.
