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’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 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! 🎗

5 For the Fight is an awesome cause! I was grateful to learn about it at the most recent X4 Conference. I have a few neighbors that are fighting through cancer and their perspective has been so insightful on life and what really matters. Grateful to know that Qualtrics supports causes that can truly reshape our world and those in it!

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!

All the best

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.

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

Donation made and will be submitted for company matching!  

I’ve had 26 people in my immediate family pass from some form of cancer including my dad & his dad.  Far too often the treatment is worse than the disease itself and we are long overdue for better options.

I had the chance to be in Toronto the week of the event and I went walking in person with the amazing team of Qualtrics Toronto.

It was a nice way to do some networking while walking for a cause.
