Yaaseen epitomises the term, “Youth in Action.” He tirelessly raises awareness of the work we do, as well as funds to help our needy patients. His passion knows no bounds. We caught up with this remarkable young man to find out what motivates him.

Yaaseen, can you tell us why you decided to support Imran Khan Cancer Appeal?

“I decided to support Imran Khan Cancer Appeal because of its meaningful mission in the fight against cancer. This charity is dedicated to improving the lives of people affected by cancer in Pakistan, and I’m inspired by its efficient use of funds and the commitment of the team. Knowing that I could contribute to such a well-organised effort to combat cancer and provide essential support to patients and their families was a significant motivator for my involvement.”

Thank you, Yaaseen for your encouraging words. We understand you’re working towards your Duke of Edinburgh Award as well? Where do you find the time to do so much for others?
