Fundraising for child's gene therapy in Slovenia

Overview

Community fundraising efforts are underway in Slovenia to secure medical treatment for eight-year-old Teo Slodnjak, who is battling Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The goal is to raise approximately 2.5 million euros to fund Elevidys gene therapy in the United States, a treatment not currently available in Europe.

Initial efforts included a day-long charity event in Moškanjci titled ‘Nevidne niti srca’ (Invisible Threads of the Heart), which featured musical performances and workshops. This was followed by the organization of a humanitarian hike titled ‘Na noge!’ scheduled for October 4, 2026, traveling from Kamnica to Sveti Urban. Organizers expect up to 1,000 participants for the hike.
