I have been blessed with incredible friends, mentors & family who have pushed me towards success throughout my life. Achieving the highest levels in any discipline requires relentless dedication, focus & sacrifice. I am so humbled to have an incredible circle of confidants who

have succeeded time & time again & I am grateful for their constant inspiration & support. They have also stressed honor & compassion for my fellow human beings. Many of us decided long ago that we would also use our platforms & friendships to lift others up & raise awareness for

those in need & for important issues. I am especially proud of #Arturaleksanyan who won the gold medal in Rio 4 years ago today & dedicated his victory to #robertabajyan - a hero of #artsakh - & drew international attention towards hostility against Artsakh & Armenian soldiers 💪🏼

I look forward to seeing him again soon ✊🏼

Now...if I have your attention, here are some time sensitive campaigns:

Please join me in the support effort to save baby Ada Keshishyants. She is suffering from a life-threatening, rare genetic disease called Spinal Muscular Atrophy

(SMA) Type 1. One shot of Zolgensma may be curative, but it sadly costs $2.125 Million. Please read the full link in my bio. Every dollar can potentially help her. Click: wwwsoarusorg.reachapp.co/campaigns/save… 🙏🏼❤️🇦🇲

Please sign the #DefendArmenia petition defendarmenia.com so we do not waste US taxpayer dollars given the needs in our own country

Please also join me in sending support to Beirut through these campaigns:

donate.agbu.org/lebanonrelief

For those of you who have read this far, thank you & many of you inspire me to do even more 🙏🏼
