In what could be the largest online sensation from the Bucket Challenge ALS Ice stars cinema and similar US Olympians took to the Internet to get filmed doing 22 pushups- an effort to honor the 22 veterans thought about suicide every day.
As the Ice Bucket Challenge, participants performed the task, designate another person, and then post the video on social media where the next participant continues to do the same. But different from the ice bucket challenge, which called for donations to the ALS Association, Pushup Challenge-22 requires no gifts, but rather the mere participation in awareness of veteran suicide. The # 22KILL advocacy group launched the initiative
A video filled with his wife, the actress Anna Faris, Chris Pratt actor wrote on Instagram :. "Please know that there are people out there thinking of you, praying for you and appreciate your sacrifice."
The "star Jurassic World" nominated actor John Krasinski , who made pulls alongside her pup, Finn, whom he jokingly talked throughout.
Other celebrities like comedian Kevin Hart, Chris Evans and actors Kevin Bacon, rapper Ludacris and professional -lutteur turned actor Dwayne "the rock" Johnson are among other celebrities who took part in the challenge and use the hashtag # 22PushupChallenge to raise post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and suicide veteran.
The rock named US Olympic swimming gold medalist Simone Manuel and Ryan Murphy to complete the challenge
On Instagram, Manuel wrote: "Thanks to our men and women, for protection. of our country! Your hard work, bravery and sacrifice does not go unnoticed. "
the number 22 comes from a 2012 Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Report on suicide data analyzed death certificates in 21 sample states from 1999 to 2011. While the researchers reported their calculations were statistically significant, they warned against the use of numbers to represent annual suicides by veterans because their study contained terms such as "the existing evidence of the uncertainty in the veteran identifiers on death certificates in the United States."
in July, the VA released a report made day estimated the daily number of veteran suicides is 20.
the report says veterans are 21 percent more likely to commit suicide than their civilian counterparts, and in 2014 some 7,400 former fighters took their own lives.
"veteran suicide is one too many," David Shulkin, undersecretary of the VA Health, said in a statement.
