My name is Muhammad Junaid Rashid and I am a Mechanical Engineer by profession.

The Green Knights – Charity for Cancer

My father passed away two years ago because of lung cancer. I never for a minute believed him to be mortal – for me, he was everything that my life revolved around. And then one fine day, it crashed. The doctor diagnosed my father with third degree cancer in the lungs – and three months [...]
