Staten Island, NY, Dec. 02, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 500,000 push-ups down and less than a million to go.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nate Carroll has crossed the 500,000 mark in his quest to break the world record for push-ups done in a year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Motivating him to get up and do push-ups every day, in addition to raising his three kids, and working his day job, is his goal of raising $1.5 million dollars for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation\u2019s Fallen First Responder Home Program<\/a>, which pays off mortgages for the families of law enforcement officers and firefighters killed in the line of duty who leave behind young children.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery day\u00a0I pour my heart into pushups for families I’ve never met, in hopes of honoring their Mother or Father who gave their life protecting families like mine.\u00a0 It’s important to me that these families know that haven\u2019t been forgotten<\/em>,\u201d said Carroll.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Every day through the end of the year Carroll will be dedicating that day\u2019s push-ups to a family who will have their mortgage paid off or receive a mortgage-free home from the Tunnel to Towers Foundation as part of its 2020 Season of Hope <\/a>is delivering 36 mortgage-free homes in 25 states in the span of 36 days.\u00a0<\/p>\n

You can watch Nate complete his pushups and hear the family\u2019s stories on his YouTube page<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone of these first responders has a story of courage sacrifice and heroism they ran towards danger – losing their lives to protect the life of a stranger. I hope to share these stories about these men and women that we call heroes – but someone called Dad or Mom,<\/em>\u201d said Carroll.\u00a0<\/p>\n

You can follow his quest to break the world record by following him on Instagram<\/a> where he will be posting push-up video compilations as well as pictures of verified logbook entries.<\/p>\n
