Coach Fights Cancer With Wrestling Community | Ottawa News

Against all odds, Hajar Quinn—fierce coach, wrestling pioneer, and stage four cancer warrior—is still in the ring, coaching at Ascendant Martial Arts while battling colon and liver cancer. Diagnosed with no warning signs, she’s been lifted by an outpouring of love from the Saskatchewan wrestling community, who rallied with a province-wide camp raising funds for her treatment. Her husband Sean calls the response “incredible,” as Hajar refuses to back down—even as she fights, she keeps teaching, inspiring, and leading. The gym thrives under her legacy, offering wrestling, kickboxing, and jujitsu to all levels, proving that when community comes together, no battle is too big.
