He died in a car accident on September 10th, 2007, so the organization of the Alto Paraná Solidarity Marathon decided to cognize the SERGIO O. FOSCHINO PRIZE in its memory, so that it can be disputed in the present and future editions of the Marathon, as a way of preserving its image and example alive.
In September 2017, the 11th marathon is going to be run with the same purpose. From 2.000 people who ran it in 2007, 8.000 people will berunning it this year, Even people from neighboring countries.
I admire him because of his perseverance, his commitment to people and his humanity. I am proud that through sport he managed to bring people together when he only had lived for six years in that small town.
