Badge of the Month | May 2023

 

Task: Join the XM Community’s 5K For The Fight team

Here at Qualtrics, we care a lot about cancer research. This year, our community is participating in 5K For The Fight, a way to get active, raise money, and come together for cancer research. Join our team and sign up for a virtual or in-person event. Then, comment the event you chose, why you selected the event, your plans and/or your experience participating! Alternatively, donate $5 to the cause and comment why you fight!

The Qualtrics-led nonprofit, 5 For The Fight, is a global campaign inviting everyone to donate $5 to the fight against cancer. Each donation is made in honor of someone who is battling or has been touched by the disease. 5 For The Fight has raised more than $26 million to help eradicate cancer with one hundred percent of those funds donated directly to the world’s leading cancer researchers.

I am participating in the virtual 5K since I am not close to any of the in-person events!  In the last few years, I have lost 2 cousins, an uncle, and a wonderful woman who was like a second mom to me to cancer.

I am incredibly excited about our May Badge of the Month! 5 For the Fight is a wonderful opportunity to share our experiences and come together for a common cause 💜

Cancer has had a massive impact on my family and my loved ones. My 5 is for my grandmother who died of pancreatic cancer when I was in high school. My 5 is also for my other grandmother, who is a 3-time cancer survivor - she has beaten both colon and breast cancer! 🎗

Luckily, my family doesn't die of cancer or have a hard time, but I know that many acquaintances and their families are suffering from it. I am very happy to share a meaningful experience. I hope many people will have an opportunity to cheer up.

Good afternoon from a cloudy Sweden! 

I am unfortunately unable to join any of your races, but I will actually run a 5k race this Saturday called “Lundaloppet” which is a local 10/5k race here in the town of Lund, Sweden. I’ll be sure to think of you as a suffer through each meter :)

 

All the best

I’ve joined this years virtual team in honor of my sister, Erin Korengold, who lost her battle to lymphoma in 2020. I miss her dearly and in her honor, will make 50 swings in a batting cage this month. Working at the National Institutes of Health, where committed scientists find cures for so many diseases, I’m happy to see the work that 5 for the Fight does for cancer research, especially at institutions like Howard University.

I can now confirm I ran the 5k on Saturday and I can now confirm that I could hardly move yesterday and it’s even worse today. But I’ll take it any day for this wonderful cause!

I both hate and love when that happens.  I like knowing I worked hard and that’s why my body is so sore….but also, being uncomfortable is no fun!  Way to go on finishing it!!!

Update: here I am getting my fifty swings in yesterday. It was a beautiful morning in the Washington, DC area. I left with sore hands (I use a wooden bat) and shoulders, and a full heart.
