Jeroen van der Linden - 24 hours push ups on an empty stomach
World record attempt and social fundraiser by Jeroen van der Linden - 24 hours push-ups on an empty stomach, to raise funds for a non-profit that finances school lunches for Rotterdam children growing up in poverty.
"According to the Dutch Central Bureau of Statics, 1 in 5 children in the port city grows up in poverty. With every push-up, Jeroen tries to draw attention to this hunger and hopefully alleviate it. 'It will be mentally and physically very tough, but I'm going to push myself to the limit so that thousands of lunchboxes can be filled. Let's work together to ensure that no child in Rotterdam has to go to school on an empty stomach.'
Every school day, volunteers from the non-profit No Empty Stomachs prepare around 2,000 sandwiches for children in Rotterdam. Johan de Boterhammenman ("Johan the Sandwich Man"), as he is popularly known, founded the non-profit in 2019. His big dream? 'That no child should have to go to school hungry, preferably with free hot meals provided by the government.'"
