TEAM CANADA - 2021 WAKO PanAm - Alexis & Dina
Alexis - 17 - 1 x National Champion, 2 x Provicinal Champion
My name is Alexis Chiappetta-Sacchetti, a little over three years ago I started my journey learning the martial arts of Muay Thai and kickboxing. At first, I was just looking for a hobby and new ways to stay fit. Quickly I learned to love sports, and as my passion grew so did the intensity. Not long after I started I began competing, not only did I thrive for achievement but I knew each fight entailed a new learning experience.
These fighting experiences have taught me so much more than just ring smarts. Each fight allowed me to grow and mature and flourish into
the young adult I am today. I have been so incredibly lucky to have fought against and alongside amazing athletes. All the opportunities I get I do my best to take up, win or lose, despite the outcome fighting is my passion and I want to demonstrate my talent. Over the course of these years, I have put my blood, sweat, and tears into these sports, making sacrifices and tough decisions so I can achieve the outcome of a high-performance athlete. Recently I earned a spot to fight in the WAKO Pan-am games, representing team Canada. To help with the costly
expenses to fight on team Canada, I would appreciate financial support. Any donation would be so heavily appreciated and would allow me to get closer to achieving my dreams as an athlete.
Dina - 14 - 2 x Provincial Champion
Hi! My name is Dina Zahreddine. I’m a 14 year old Muay Thai athlete fighting for the Canadian National Team. This year, following several covid related complications and delays, I have finally earned the opportunity to represent our country at the Panam Games in Mexico, where I’ll be competing against other females in my weight class from all around the Americas. This is a great honor that will ready me for many more international competitions to come.
However, it is not without a price. Even though I am part of Team Canada, my family and I are expected to pay for all our expenses. Yet, I am beyond dedicated to this sport and all the challenged it throws my way are merely obstacles I know I will somehow overcome. Any help I can receive along the way will be appreciated more than you know. My goals have been set, and I’m aiming to see a set of colored rings in the not-so-far future. Join me in making my dreams a reality!
