Journey to Japan: Empowering Canadian RG

Hello everyone! My name is Suzanna Shahbazian. I am a 18 y/o passionate rhythmic gymnast from Canada. Rhythmic gymnastics has been my passion since a young age. I have dedicated countless hours to training, pushing my limits, and honing my skills. Throughout my gymnastics journey, I have achieved several notable achievements as: 2022 Commonwealth Games (GBR)| gold team event, silver for ball, 2022 Pan American championships (BRA) bronze team event, silver for hoop, bronze for ball, 2023 Pan American championships (MEX)| bronze team event, participation in World Championships 2022 and World Cup 2023 .

Today, I have been given the incredible opportunity to represent my country at an international prestigious gymnastics competition in Japan. Unfortunately, individual gymnasts like myself do not receive financial support from the Canadian government to participate in such international events due to limited financial resources. As a result, I am unable to cover the expenses required for this life-changing experience. That's why I am reaching out to all of you, seeking support through this GoFundMe campaign.

Your generous contribution will enable me to compete on an international level and make my dreams come true! Your support, no matter the amount, will help me bring me closer to my dream of competing in Japan.

By supporting me, you are not only helping me achieve my personal goals but also representing the potential of Canadian rhythmic gymnastics on a global scale and promoting the growth of rhythmic gymnastics in Canada. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for considering making a contribution toward my journey.

Together, we can make this a reality!
