Highlights
Met a 24yo guy yesterday who is obsessed to solve for emergency care in India. Because in a country where chocolate and ice cream reaches home in less than 10 minutes, an ambulance takes avg 30 mins.
Millions of people in India will get inspired if they meet them. You may not know this, but some of our para-athletes are PhDs, IITians, IAS officer, farmers, entrepreneurs, & world champions.
Last week i met our Paralympians and never experienced goosebumps and teary eyes for such a long time in my life. What they’ve achieved isn’t just about medals; it’s something far deeper and more profound. You have to meet them to truly understand that. Each one of them has reasons to play sports that is beyond imagination to many of us.
Incredible work by @virenrasquinha , @nehaaggarwal and the entire team of @OGQ_India for being on the side of these para athletes for many years.
Whenever I post about supporting sports, many here ask what they can do. Here’s what you can-
-
Read about these para-athletes and watch their videos. Share their stories with your kids and family. Follow them on Social Media, so you can recognise them in real life. And if you ever meet them take a selfie. They don’t expect this but they deserve attention from all of us. Only then brands and sponsors will recognise them.
-
Encourage your company to support sports foundations through CSR . Organizations like @OGQ_India , @GoSportsVoices & @_SimplySport are doing impactful work to support these athletes & para-athletes and need backing from individuals and companies to continue their efforts.
If you don’t click the like button on a cricketer’s post, it won’t matter to them. But if you like and share stories of these para-athletes, it can make a world of difference for them.
It just takes 6gms of gold to lift the worth of a nation. That’s the slogan for OGQ.
