Hey everyone, I am Murtaza and currently in my third year of Honours Life Sciences. I was born in Pakistan but moved to Canada when I was 5.

 

Promoting men's health and active living is crucial to promote, as even one individual's health can affect the lives of their peers, colleagues, and more importantly their family.

 

I really started to take my diet and physical activity seriously in my second year, as a healthy and cautious lifestyle leads to a more productive and positive mood towards your work and society.

 

Our club wants to support men diagnosed with medical conditions that they have in common, especially their mental health. Diminishing the negative stigmas and financial struggles men face while seeking treatment is what I want to contribute with this position.

 

Systematically, I believe that everyone in society should have access to quality health care. It saddens me that citizens in third world countries lack the finances for accessing quality treatment. However, I am very grateful that our health care system in Canada is quite accessible. In the future, I wish to donate to men and women diagnosed with medical conditions and give my support to anyone struggling with undiagnosed issues.
