The Easy-to-read version of this text is available here.

Wojtek Sawicki and Agata Tomaszewska are a Polish influencer couple followed by hundreds of thousands of people on Instagram and TikTok. Wojtek has been suffering from Duchenne muscular dystrophy since early childhood. It is a very rare and incurable disease that leads to a complete loss of body control. He requires the use of a ventilator and to be enterally fed. Despite the enormous limitations of the disease (he controls the computer with his eye movement only), Wojtek was a successful editor-in-chief of the iconic music portal Porcys for 8 years without revealing his condition. Currently, Wojtek and his fiancée Agata are running a very popular profile channel Life on Wheelz, where they fight discrimination against people with disabilities.
