“Hello, hello, John Krasinski here. I was just challenged by Mr. Chris Pratt to do 25 push-ups for a amazing cause: MVP, Merging Vets for Players,” the 38-year-old Jack Ryan actor said on Thursday in a video posted on Twitter, explaining that the non-profit organization “gives us a chance to fight for the men and women who have fought for us.”

“For every 25 push-ups, supposedly Michael Strahan is gonna give an amazing piece of equipment to these people in this organization, so hopefully I can do 25 push-ups,” he added, before taking a deep breath and beginning the challenge.

After easily polishing off the challenge in just 25 seconds, the father of two went on to implore Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who he jokingly claimed “can’t even do 25 push-ups,” as well as Chris Evans to support the cause.

“It’s been a while since Thanos snapped, so let’s see how much more Captain America has left in him,” he added.

While neither of the two stars have yet to publicly put their muscles to the test, in 2016 both Johnson and Evans joined 22Kill’s #22PushUpChallenge, and did 22 push-ups every day for a week straight in order to raise awareness for veteran suicide prevention. The number 22 symbolizes the number of veterans who commit suicide every day.

Pratt previously completed the challenge on Wednesday.

“Thank you @michaelstrahan for donating gear to the incredible @mergingvetsandplayers Such an awesome organization @jayglazer set up,” he wrote alongside a video of himself sweating it out.

In addition to nominating Krasinski, the Jurassic World star also called upon actor and retired wrestler Dave Bautista and Caleb Shaw to step up to the plate. While neither of the pair have posted their own videos yet, Shaw wrote on Thursday that he accepted the challenge — and encouraged Krasinski and Bautista to “honor some HEROES!”

Merging Vets and Players is a non-profit organization started in 2015 by Jay Glazer, one of the founders of Unbreakable, a gym in Los Angeles that is frequented by many celebrities. The aim of the organization is to try and help bring former professional athletes and former combat veterans together, to help “tackle the transition” that happens “after the uniform comes off,” according to its website.

I am challenging @jayglazer and all members of @unbreakableperformance to a push up challenge for @mergingvetsandplayers. It’s on folks, how many pushups can you do? To participate you must be a member of Unbreakable, post your push up video on Instagram, and tag @mbymichaelstrahan. #UNBREAKABLExMSX

On Aug. 8, the Good Morning America host — and former defensive end for the New York Giants — announced that he was calling on all of the members of the gym to support the good cause.

“It’s on folks,” he captioned the video, before clarifying that in order to participate “you must be a member of Unbreakable” and tag his clothing line and lifestyle website, which would be responsible for donating the equipment.

After putting his own muscles to the test, Glazer went on to nominate another celebrity: Snoop Dogg.

“I am calling upon the original, the one and only @snoopdogg to keep the ball rolling!” Glazer wrote. However, the 46-year-old rapper does not seem to have dropped down and given Glazer 25 yet.

This year, many A-list names are getting together to support a cause close to all of their hearts – children.

Celebrities including Jennifer Aniston, Sofia Vergara, Michael Strahan, Jimmy Kimmel and Luis Fonsi are using their power for good to join St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® National Outreach Director Marlo Thomas in promoting the St. Jude Thanks and Giving® campaign.

“It means so much to us that year after year they open their hearts to the children of St. Jude,” said Thomas.

“[It] lets us keep my father’s founding promise that no family receives a bill from St. Jude for anything — not for treatment, travel, housing or food — because all a family should worry about is helping their child live,” he added.

The campaign is in its 19th year and raises awareness and funds for the organization’s continued battle to end childhood cancer and other life-threatening illnesses.

Aniston, Kimmel, and the other stars will appear in their own TV spot alongside a child that benefits from St. Jude’s work. These commercials are slated to air all throughout the holiday season.

“Every year the St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign helps transform the holiday season into a time when we can all make a huge difference and help save the lives of precious children battling cancer and other life-threatening diseases,” said Aniston.

“St. Jude holds a special place in my heart and I am honored to lend my voice in raising awareness to support St. Jude’s lifesaving mission of finding cures and saving children in communities across America and around the world.”

In addition to the ads, St. Jude’s is aimed to raise funds and awareness for its cause by selling merchandise crafted by celebrity partners. For example, St. Jude partner HSN collaborated with stars including Thomas, Melissa McCarthy, Kristin Chenoweth, Christie Brinkley, Iris Apfel, Giuliana Rancic to design a Holiday Ornament Collection.

“I have met a lot of great people in my life but the kids of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital are so inspiring” said Strahan.

“St. Jude is one of my favorite places. The care they provide is unsurpassed and families don’t have to pay St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food. Please join me during the St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign this holiday season. Your support will help ensure that children from across America and around the world continue to benefit from the lifesaving research and treatment being done every day at St. Jude.”

Throughout November and December, consumers are asked to support the campaign by shopping at more than 70 leading national brands and sharing what they #GiveThanks for using social media.

“I had a lot of fun filming these spots with Isabelle, Marleigh and John Claude – all of whom are great kids,” said Kimmel.

“This holiday season we can help St. Jude continue to treat the toughest cases while ensuring that families never pay St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food.  Every little bit can help save the lives of these sweet and beautiful children.”
