Supporting an NGO through fitness-thanks to Qlik!

 At the end of 2020, my organization #Qlik, organized a #Qlikathon where employees had the opportunity to pursue a fitness regimen and earn donations for the time/miles spent. For a fitness enthusiast like me, this was an opportunity to stretch myself a bit more to be able to earn points towards a charity of my choice. Fortunately, #Qlik supports a long list of charities from across the world where we can contribute, including many from India. I found an NGO, #Abhivyakti Media for Development, which is engaged in activities that supports the cause of marginalized communities and #womenempowerment, since more than 30 years. These are also the causes my mother, who's a social worker and an author, supports. It is based in the town I grew up in, #Nashik so in a way, its close to my heart.

I feel pleased to share that I was able to donate my entire proceeds of Rs.22,000 to Abhivyakti earned through my passions, running and cycling. It was a fulfilling journey and I am extremely thankful to #Qlik for organizing a #Qlikathon and giving us an opportunity to make a small difference to the society!
