Denise Kicks Ass

Our producer Denise takes her fitness seriously when it comes to Vets. Committing to a 22 push-ups a day challenge. Her first day was pretty successful. She nominates our editor Vincas to the challenge. #22kill

Day 1/22: 22 push-ups a day for 22 days.
22 push-ups a day for 22 days to remember the 22 US veterans each day who take their own lives.

The rules are simple:
*Once you are nominated your 22 days starts the following day
*Every day record yourself doing 22 push-ups and post it, copy this text and the hashtag to each post
*Every day nominate a different person, try to choose people you think will want to do this and/or have the ability to do it
*And finally, this is a simple way to get the word out that 22 US veterans commit suicide each day.
