health challenges and family support

"I didn't fight alone," he emphasizes, emphasizing how important the support of his family - especially his wife and parents - was during this time.

The diagnosis turned out to be an autoimmune disease, which was accompanied by considerable health challenges, including a broken skull that had to be treated surgically.

In order to avoid health setbacks, he has to take special medication every day and wears a special cap that protects him from injuries because part of his skull is currently frozen. However, he made this everyday life normal with the consequences of his illness. "I didn't lose my humor," laughs Barth and shows how important a positive attitude is in difficult times.
