420 donors supported Ivan, known as the Stuntman, and raised €30,104.44. The original fundraising goal of €30,000 has now been reached, and his treatment has begun.
Ivan is a father of three and a grandfather of four. Much of his life has been connected to sports and orienteering.
Today, however, his family is facing a serious challenge.
Ivan is battling a malignant pancreatic disease that has spread to other organs.
A biopsy was performed to clarify his condition and determine the appropriate treatment approach.
On September 23, Ivan's family shared an important update - his treatment had begun.
Further medical examinations are planned, along with immunotherapy and chemotherapy.
A payment of €20,000 for treatment, based on an invoice, has also been published and approved, showing that part of the funds raised has already been allocated to medical expenses.
One of the biggest financial obstacles facing Ivan and his family has now been overcome.
From this point forward, the focus is on treatment, further examinations, and monitoring his condition.
We thank everyone who donated, shared Ivan's story, and helped him reach this stage.
