Help Arman Represent Canada at the World University Games

At 13, I was diagnosed with an aggressive form of throat cancer. At an age when most kids were playing games at recess, I was fighting for my life. I remember reminiscing from my hospital bed, wondering if I'd ever get the chance to run around again, let alone compete at a high level.

At that moment, I promised myself I would never take an opportunity for granted again.

Today, I’m proud to say I’ve kept that promise. As a cancer survivor, a varsity athlete, and a student on the dean’s list, I’ve dedicated myself to making the most of every opportunity I've been given. And now, I’ve been blessed with the incredible honour of representing Team Canada at the FISU World University Games in the long jump.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and a crucial step toward my journey to the Olympics.

However, this experience is entirely self-funded, and the cost to attend is $5,200. As a full-time student-athlete, this is an impossible task on my own.

I’m asking for your support to help me turn this dream into reality. Any donation, big or small, would mean the world to me. Your support not only allows me to fulfill a lifelong dream, but also shows others facing adversity that there truly is light at the end of the tunnel.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you :)
