Grandma muscles out push ups for a good cause
While many people half her age are struggling to get up from the couch in the afternoon, Lorraine Gould is muscling out push-ups for a very good cause.
Lorraine has been doing 22 push ups each day as part of the 22 Push Up Challenge. This campaign sees people performing 22 push ups a day for 22 days, as a way to raise awareness and support soldiers who are suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.
Lorraine started the exercise to support her son, who is a solider.
Lorraine told Wellington Times, “I’m a 50-odd-year-old grandmother, I gave it a good go. And I nominate someone else every day to take up the challenge.”
What a lovely story. Lorraine sets an incredible example for people of all ages. Have you ever (or know someone who has) embarked on a similar challenge for a good cause? Share your stories in the comments.
