The Palm Beach County Fire Rescue is rising to the challenge. 

The 22 push-up challenge is to raise awareness about post-traumatic stress disorder, PTSD, and the 22 military veterans who take their lives everyday. 

The veteran empowerment  group "Honor Courage Commitment"  started the challenge to raise awareness for veteran suicide prevention through education and empowerment. 

The Broward Sheriff's Office issued the challenge to Palm Beach County, which is now challenging Delray Beach and West Palm Beach Fire Rescue.
