Day 22 – 22 Pushups – 22 Days – Awareness of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)

DONE! Day 22 – My work is done. Hopefully this small effort has made anyone who has been watching any one of the last 22 days, aware of the traumas that our veterans suffer while away and on their return home. So let us all be compassionate and helpful in anyway we can. Donation would be good at ‘Getheadstrong.org‘
Mind you I must add this was the second take, I actually did 44 pushups as my camera man cut my head out of the picture in the first video. I was breathing a little heavy in the second take.

The reason for 22 days and 22 pushups is the recognition and awareness of proven statistical evidence that there are at least 22 veterans commit suicide each day in the United States Of America and a growing number in Australia. There has been 274 suicides in Australia since 1999.

For most of us, we can not comprehend the trauma that they experience and how tolerant and supportive we must be for those who fight for our freedoms. It is not only tragic for our vets it is certainly heartbreaking for the families of these young men and women.
Today I nominate Mitch King to take the challenge.

No pressure . If you can great, if not that’s ok too.

But once you accept, you start tomorrow. The rules are simple:
* Once you are nominated your 22 days starts the following day.
* Every day you record yourself doing 22 push ups, try your best to reach 22. If that means doing assisted push ups (from your knees) or you have to stop and take a break, that is fine but try to get them all done in one video.
* Every day the push-ups must be in a different location.
* Every day you just nominate a different person.
* And finally have fun with this!
This a great way to have fun and let these courageous Men and Women who put their life on the line and those suffering from PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) know that someone is thinking about them.

Today, being the 20th of September 2016, was way, way too hot to go outside to do the pushups. It was 100 degree’s which is mighty uncomfortable so did them inside.

Day 14 – 22 Pushups – 22 Days – Awareness of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)

Today I went to the Bohemian Hill Tavern in Rosenberg owned by my friends Ruth and Terry. I was going to do it outside in front of the bar so you could see the name but the temperature was close to 100 degrees if not 100 degrees, so that was way to hot. I ended up doing the pushups in the bar. Thank you Pattie Meyen for doing the video. At least you got my feet and head in. Thanks Bohemian for letting me do it there.

Day 10 – 22 Pushups – 22 Days – Awareness of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)

Had to go to ‘Republic Harley Davidson’ to get a new tyre on my bike so took the opportunity and with the help of the receptionist I did my pushups in front of the new 2017 Street Glides. I have to say I am warming to that bike. I may have to upgrade from my Fat Bob. Maybe, not sure, but probably.
