Matic Žontar
Matic Žontar is an eight-year-old boy diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), a rare genetic disorder that leads to progressive muscle weakness and disability. Despite appearing like his peers, Matic faces significant health challenges, with an average life expectancy of only 28 years without treatment. His family is actively seeking funding for a revolutionary gene therapy called elevidys, which has shown promise in treating DMD but comes at a staggering cost of 3.2 million euros.
