Anita and Adrian from the show „Ślub od pierwszego wejrzenia” are facing a dramatic challenge: the fight for Adrian’s life costs millions of zlotys. The couple has launched a fundraiser to secure the necessary funds for innovative treatment that offers hope for recovery.
A family’s ordeal from „Ślub od pierwszego wejrzenia”
Adrian Szymaniak, known to viewers from the show „Ślub od pierwszego wejrzenia”, has been diagnosed with a grade IV glioma. The illness appeared suddenly, turning the family’s life upside down. Despite two surgeries and an enormous fighting spirit, Adrian’s condition requires costly therapy, available mainly outside the country.
Link to the fundraiser
At the time of writing this article, 1.11 million zlotys had been raised out of the 3 million zlotys needed.

Urgent need for help – treatment costs
Adrian’s chances for the future depend on starting immunological therapy quickly and on treatment with modern methods that the National Health Fund (NFZ) does not reimburse.
The numbers speak for themselves
- First stage of therapy: 240 thousand zlotys
- Each subsequent month of treatment: 120 thousand zlotys
- Target cost: 3 million zlotys – the amount the family must raise to have a chance of recovery
How can you help Adrian and Anita?
The couple set up an online fundraiser. Within a few hours, more than a million zlotys had been collected, but the needs are enormous. Every gesture matters – financial support or sharing information helps reach more people.
Family situation
- Adrian lost his job just before the diagnosis
- Anita looks after the children and organises additional initiatives – a charity gala, a book, media interviews
- The family is applying for a rehabilitation allowance, but without the fundraiser they are unable to bear the cost of treatment
Media and public support
The case has moved Poles and the media. Anita moved viewers of „Dzień Dobry TVN”, showing how important community support is. A public fundraiser demonstrates the strength of solidarity in difficult times – everyone can add their own brick.
Grade IV glioma – what Adrian is facing
Glioma is one of the most malignant brain tumours. It requires multi-stage treatment, frequent surgeries and rigorous therapy – in Poland the available methods are often insufficient, which is why the family is considering treatment at specialist centres in Germany.
An example for other families
Anita and Adrian’s attitude is inspiring – they fight together, without losing hope despite the difficulties. Their story shows how much support from others and social activity mean in times of crisis.
