Rick Clement Takes On #22Kill Challenge
One of Britain's most seriously injured soldiers has taken part in the new viral challenge, #22Kill.
Rick Clement lost both his legs and suffered serious internal injuries when he stepped on a roadside bomb in Afghanistan.
But that hasn't stopped him from doing 22 press-ups for the next 22 days to raise awareness of that number of US veterans who commit suicide every day - albeit with some motivational music to spur him on...
There are 22 veterans a week that are committing suicide due to PTSD or mental health. This is to raise awareness. pic.twitter.com/wdngnXcTiz

Rick said:
"As a veteran who has suffered physical injuries that are obvious I can't tell you enough how serious it is that those suffering from unseen injury are acknowledged and given help."
And we may be seeing another British veteran taking on the challenge in the near future, after Rick challenged new partner Hannah Campbell to give it a go next!
