“I am twenty-seven years old, studying media production at the Institute and Academy of Multimedia. I am a great sports enthusiast.
I train fitness and swimming, participate in international tournaments, and I occasionally ski. For years, I have been participating in the organisation of Red Bull’s competitions and drove bobsleigh.
Another thing that’s very important to me is the global race Wings For Life World Run, which raises funds to search for a cure for spinal injury. I act as their ambassador.”
“I like to actively engage in the society in any way I can. One of my favorite initiatives is the one in which I participate with the Ljubljana Association of Paraplegics. It is an educational programme in schools that we visit in order to raise awareness among children and young people on the subject of disability.
The program is designed to remove the stigma around disability, which is often associated with various forms of incapacity.
Here we can help the most with our active living, setting an example that with a positive attitude and a strong will, it is possible to achieve a fulfilled life.
