Push-Ups for Purple Hearts
The National Purple Heart Honor Mission has launched the national Push-Ups for Purple Hearts challenge with veterans advocate, author and motivational speaker TShane Johnson who will train to break the world push-up record Saturday, May 1 at Southpaw Training Center in Pineville, North Carolina, starting at 6:00 a.m. This program, which encourages Americans to challenge each other to compete alongside TShane will raise resources for the Honor Mission’s Purple Heart Patriot Project and other programs that pay tribute to our heroes. To break the record, TShane will attempt to complete more than 19,000 push-ups in 12-hours. The Guinness Book of World Records’ mark has stood for more than 30 years. TShane will also attempt to break the record for most push-ups in one hour, by completing more than 2,682 push-ups.
Patriotic Americans are encouraged to join TShane in his training process by following his workouts on Instagram and Facebook, and challenging their friends to participate using the hashtag #PurpleHeartPushUps on social media.
All proceeds from the fundraiser will help bring Purple Heart recipients from across the nation to the National Purple Heart Hall of Honor, and tell the stories of valor of our nation’s combat wounded and those killed in action to a new generation of Americans. Take the challenge. Support TShane’s historic effort. Donate today to honor our heroes.
