Naisargi DaveHi I am Naisargi Dave, also commonly known as Nash. I am one year away from attaining a bachelor’s in Life Sciences at McMaster University. I am very passionate about medicine since the idea of a profession focused on helping others live not only a longer life but a life full of quality is very rewarding. This is also a value that is based at the heart of this organization. Apart from my educational background and beliefs, I love endorsing a healthy lifestyle by playing recreational sports, maintaining a vegetarian diet, and regularly working out.

Arya DixitHi my name is Arya and I am a Grade 12 IB student at St. Francis Xavier Secondary School. When I was 16 and received my Ontario health card, I was asked to choose whether or not I wanted to be an organ donor. I realized I did not know much about this and had to research organ donation on my own. Through this process, I noticed that a lot of youth are not aware of organ transplant or realize how big a difference it can make to someone else’s life. I am eager to contribute and help spread awareness about organ donation to youth.
