About Me


My name is Anastasia LeBrun and I am 16 years old. I am a second degree black belt in oki-ru kenpo and a brown sash in wushu. I am hoping to go to the University of Bridgeport in September 2008 for a Martial Arts BA with a minor in business. I have been competeing in martial arts for 8 years. I compete in several different towns and cities across the country, last year going from Las Vegas, NV to Maine.
This year I would like to do something different with my competitions. I would like to get sponsors to help both myself, The Child Abuse Prevention Organization of RI, and my mom's friend and her son Josh. In the past I have gotten sponsorships to help my team compete, this year I want to help others and help children.
I started my journey on this in 2006, when my mom’s friend’s 4 month old son Joshua was shaken by his father. He has suffered severe brain damage and has to live in a nursing facility, away from his mom and his siblings. He is being denied the attention and the life he should have with his family. There are so many others that this happens to. 1 out of 4 shaken children die. I would like to help them and those that it hasn’t happened to yet.
I hope to spread the word to help prevent child abuse. Send the message of other ways to handle frustrations. To show that we are all human and there are people and places to go for help.
My goal is to earn money to send to the child abuse foundation in Joshua’s name, and to help Nicole obtain the things she needs for Josh. I hope to set up a booth at the tournaments with this information and flyers to hand out to help spread the word. If there is anyway you would be able to help me achieve this goal, I would appreciate it. Any donations are helpful. Justice for Joshua will be printed on my Gi.
Joshua has a sister 3 and a brother 4, there is no other Family except mom to help them. Becuase Joshua lives in a nursing facility his mom can not get all the things she needs for him on the weekends paid for threw insurance. she has to pay for alot herself.
Please help me help Joshua and others like him, and there families. Please click on any of the FUNDRAISING events to help. I/We would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you for your time,
Anastasia LeBrun
