Help Natalie represent Canada at Pan-Ams & Worlds!

Hi, I’m Natalie!

I’m excited and proud to share with you that I’ve made the World Team and will have the privilege of representing Canada at the Wrestling Pan American Championships in Rio de Janeiro and possibly World Championships as well. This is truly a dream come true. I’ve been working toward this achievement for a very long time, and I still can’t believe it’s finally happening.

I first started wrestling when I was 12 and had no idea just how much this sport would come to mean to me. Wrestling has given me purpose, confidence, and a true sense of belonging. It’s more than just a sport—it’s a community. I’ve built lifelong friendships, found incredible mentors, and grown alongside teammates who inspire me daily. Most importantly, wrestling has brought me closer to my dad. We’ve shared every win, every loss, and all the moments in between.

Now, with this opportunity to represent Canada, I am asking for your help—not just for me, but for my family, too.

My parents, Antoni Wojciechowski and Julie Ann Beringuel Wojciechowski, have been my biggest supporters. From daily practices and tournaments to all the sacrifices behind the scenes—they’ve given everything to help me chase my dreams. After I recently won the 2025 Canadian Wrestling Championship Team Trials, I earned the chance to compete at the U17 Pan-American Wrestling Championships this June in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. But getting there comes at a cost—and it’s entirely self-funded.

They’ve done everything they can to manage training, travel, and competition expenses up until now, but this is the biggest stage yet. That’s why we are reaching out to you, our extended community of family, friends, and colleagues, for support.

We’re asking for your help to cover the costs of:

• Flights and hotel accommodation for the trip to Rio and Athens

• Wrestling training camps and competition fees

• Medical check-ups, physiotherapy, and recovery to stay strong and injury-free

• Other essentials for high-performance athletes

From the bottom of our hearts — thank you for reading, supporting, and believing in my journey. Whether it’s $10, $50, or whatever amount you can give, every single contribution is truly appreciated and will make a difference.

And if donating isn’t possible right now, that’s totally okay — just sharing this page with your network is a powerful way to help.

Thank you for sending me to Rio — Thank you for your help in advance.

With Gratitude,

Natalie Wojciechowski
