I'm supporting the #22pushups cause on facebook and thought I'd share my first day with Zarp.
It is Day 1 of 22, I am doing #22Pushups a day for the 22 days to show solidarity with the American armed forces in their worthy campaign to raise awareness of VETERAN mental health issues and suicide.
22 US veterans commit suicide per day (yes, you read that correctly!). Sadly, this situation is echoed in the British former-Service community. Furthermore,
suicide is the single biggest cause of death in men under 45 in the UK.
The goal is to raise awareness for those who are struggling after serving in the forces, It's something I myself have suffered but got through because of my family.
Someone you know may be suffering in silence, a veteran, a friend or a family member.
I injured my wrist while stationed in Canada last month so I'm doing sit ups instead of push ups.
If anyone on Zarp would like to take part feel free to share your video with us.
So here's my videos:
Day 1
