In memory of their beloved son Elia Epifanio, who tragically passed away on March 31, 2023, his parents are organizing a charity race, which will take place on September 14, 2024, at the go-kart track in Wohlen, AG.

This event is a tribute to Elias’s life and also an effort to raise awareness of the critical issue of sepsis, as early detection of sepsis can save lives. Sepsis is still too often overlooked, and many people are unaware of this devastating disease and its consequences. With this event, Elias’s parents hope to honor his memory while also educating others about the importance of recognizing and responding to sepsis.

Our son was an athlete. He was healthy and had never had any serious health problems. No one is immune to sepsis, and every minute counts when it comes to recognizing it and treating it in time.
