This is the best thing I've seen arise from political frustration, and it's a cause close to my heart. I wish I was in a position to give more.

I want to thank you for going on this journey with me in whatever ways you did. Today is the LAST day to donate to this campaign. Share the link if you will - https://my.charitywater.org/femi-sokoya/push-others-up. I want to say that this started out as me checking my geographic privilege and trying to do something rather than get into online political arguments. I firmly believe that there are better things in life to do than engage in divisiveness. Create, give, share, do something positive. I'm still at 4200 push-ups and hope to change that a little bit tonight, but I'll still work my way to 10006 by the end of the year. It's a lot of work - virtually 100 each day when taking out holiday business. Your support for me in this has given me 3 important lessons: 1) it is always harder than you think to pull people away from division, 2) a small group of people can make a big difference (at LEAST 92 people will get clean water!), and 3) there are ALWAYS opportunities to be positive and add to the world when things seem to be going crazy elsewhere. My faith was really important in making the decision, but you all gave me something to look forward to in these endeavors in the future.

To all the anonymous donors - I still get your name in updates, and I thank you...so so much.

Thanks and God Bless. 38 people -> 92 clean water recipients....Shalom.

I have been remiss again in updates. Last night, as I was just able to share with co-workers and superiors, I did the thing I was dreading....I attempted 500 push-ups in one night. Now I've already talked about by doing sets of 5 and 10 every minute or so makes big numbers much easier. Try doing 5 push-ups every minute for 100 minutes. I hit the goal and made it to bed by 11pm. Needless to say I won't be doing another push-up for a few days, but more people have donated. We're currently at $2740 and I've completed 4200 push-ups total -signing my name for every 10. I really appreciate those who have donated especially two individuals who will remain relatively nameless, but who have made up for (to date) 36% of the total donated amount. You all are amazing and have done something to remind yourselves and me of the capacity people have to do good and how grateful I am to have access to clean water within a few steps virtually 24/7. With the final 8 days, feel free to share with others, but don't feel obligated. Those of you I see in person, I'll keep you update with my march on to 10000. 5800 more to go! God Bless.........(and thanks to RT and KW).
