<div>Hi, my name is Joseph Brudno!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m 13 years old, and gymnastics is my biggest passion. I train 18 hours a week just to be able to perform for a few minutes during competitions. You can see some of the cool gymnastics moves I can do on my insta page <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jo_gymnast19/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m beyond excited to share that I’ve been selected to represent Canada at the 2026 Maccabiah Games in Israel! It will be my first international competition, and I’ll get to spend over three weeks in an Athlete’s Village, training and competing with athletes from all over the world, including some Olympians!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This opportunity means so much to me — not only because I get to wear the Canadian flag, but also because it’s a special chance to connect with my heritage and celebrate my bar mitzvah in Israel.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This trip is expensive - we need to pay for plane tickets, stay in Athlete’s Village, and competition fees - and I would like to help my parents pay for it. I will be putting in all of my savings towards this trip. I’d love your support — whether that’s cheering me on, following my progress, or contributing toward my trip.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for being part of my team!
</div>
