In March 2023, young Elia Epifanio lost his life to sepsis. His family is organizing a go-kart race for the second time at the racetrack in Wohlen (Trofeo Elia Epifanio #444). Through this event, the Epifanio family aims to raise awareness of the dangers of sepsis and the need for better prevention, early detection, and treatment. The race will take place on May 10, 2025.

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.
