Like the Ice Bucket Challenge, those who take part nominate others to take part – and viral videos show how Marines, middle schoolers and medical students have all been getting involved.
One video documents a man completing 22 push-ups in 22 different locations over 22 days, while another shows a young woman who felt compelled to complete the challenge while balancing a sword on her head.
Other videos, which are being shared on social media with the hashtag #22Kill, show young men and women from the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets and students at the University of Virginia School of Medicine taking on the challenge.
