Há um novo desafio que está a fazer sucesso nas redes sociais. Chama-se "22push-ups Challenge" ("Desafio das 22 Flexões").

Várias celebridades já aderiram, procurando chamar a atenção para os múltiplos suicídios levados a cabo por veteranos das forças armadas norte-americanas.

O desafio é simples: gravar um vídeo no qual apareça a fazer 22 flexões e publicá-lo na Internet com uma mensagem de alerta em relação aos problemas com que os veteranos se deparam quando regressam de conflitos armados.

As publicações nas redes sociais têm-se multiplicando de dia para dia.

 

#22PushUpChallenge Raising awareness for our 22 US vets who commit suicide daily. If you're a vet and you're going thru it, just know we're thinking about you and you're not alone. Be strong, have faith, keep fighting that good fight and there's always a better day. I challenge my boys @kevinhart4real and @justinjames99 as well as our history making first black OLYMPIC Gold medalist in swimming @swimone13. Thanks to my bud @prattprattpratt for passin' the torch and Hobbs the beast for the bad breath kisses. I'll take em all day 😂💪🏾🇺🇸
