On Saturday, May 23, 2026, YouTuber Łatwogang surpassed the 4 million PLN mark during a charity bike ride from Zakopane to Gdańsk. This high-stakes mission seeks to raise 12 million PLN for 8-year-old Maks Tocki to fund critical gene therapy in the United States for Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Tracking the 700-Kilometer Journey
To bridge this financial gap, the influencer known as Łatwogang launched a grueling physical challenge. He departed Zakopane on Friday at 4:00 PM, embarking on a nearly 700-kilometer trek toward the Baltic coast. By Saturday morning, the rider had already covered more than 200 kilometers. The momentum of the campaign reached a fever pitch on Saturday morning. As the cyclist passed through the Przyrów area in the Silesian Voivodeship, his support team traveling in a technical vehicle informed him that the donation total had broken the 4 million PLN barrier.- Total Distance: Approximately 700 km
- Current Progress: Over 200 km completed
- Remaining Distance: Nearly 500 km to Gdańsk
- Fundraising Milestone: Over 4 million PLN raised
A High-Stakes Vow for the Finish Line
This is not merely a one-way ride; it is a test of endurance fueled by a specific promise. Łatwogang has tied the completion of the goal to a secondary, even more exhausting feat.“I officially commit that if we manage to collect these 12 million before I reach Gdańsk by bike, then after reaching Gdańsk, I will go to sleep for 8-10 hours, wake up, and immediately ride the other way from Gdańsk to Zakopane.”
every kind of support counts, including simply watching the live stream, which is monetized through advertising to further the cause.
The Human Face of the Fundraiser
Beyond the numbers and the kilometers, the campaign is driven by the personal story of the Tocki family. For Maks, a second-grade student who enjoys drawing and playing football, the sudden surge of public attention has been overwhelming.“I was a little stressed, but then I realized there was no need for that… I feel euphoria and disbelief.”
