FiveSibes Join the #K9sSTOP22 /#STOP22 Challenge! Can You Outdo Our 22?!



Twenty-two seconds. Have you ever timed just how fast 22 seconds goes by? It's pretty fast. And according to K9s for Warriors' STOP22.org, "Today and every day moving forward 22 Veterans commit suicide, this is over 8,000, military heroes that will be lost in one year. This sobering fact can’t be ignored."

We repeat: Every 22 seconds we lose one of our military veterans to suicide.

K9s For Warriors aims to help these veterans by providing "service canines to our warriors suffering from post-traumatic stress and/or traumatic brain injury as a result of military service post 9/11. Our goal is to give a new leash on life to rescue dogs and military heroes, empowering warriors to return to civilian life with dignity and independence."

 "STOP22 is an awareness campaign to show our Nation's Military, active and retired, that they are not forgotten. With 22 Veterans expected to commit suicide today, your help is needed to STOP22." ~Stop22.org



How You Can Help...


~AND~

By joining in the #K9sSTOP22 awareness movement and taking the #STOP22 Video Challenge"Can You Outdo My 22?"

Our Blogville pals, Oz the Terrier and Love is Being Owned by a Husky have challenged bloggers to outdo their 22 by showing what we can do in 22 seconds. We here at the FiveSibes ACCEPT that challenge in support of our military veterans and to help raise awareness for #STOP22. Can you guess what Harley, Gibson, Wolf, Chloe, and Bandit can do for 22 seconds? Here's our video of our FiveSibes howling for 22 seconds!
