In May 2025, the “Trofeo Elia Epifanio” kart race was held in Wohlen (AG) in memory of Elia Epifanio, a young victim of sepsis. About 50 children and over 100 spectators attended the event. It was already the second race organized by Elia’s parents. The event resulted in more than 10,000 Swiss francs being donated to the University Children’s Hospital Zurich for the fight against sepsis.

Jennifer Epifanio lost her son to sepsis in 2023.

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.
