This Is How Chris Pratt And John Krasinski Honored Memorial Day

May 30, 2017

Chris Pratt and John Krasinski, who were both in the UK on Memorial Day, made time to honor the heroes who died for their country by completing The Murph Challenge, an annual event benefiting the LT Michael P. Murphy Memorial Scholarship Foundation.

The challenge consists of a one-mile run, followed by 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 air squats, and another one-mile run.

The challenge is named after Michael P. Murphy, a Navy SEAL who was killed in Afghanistan in 2005 and posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor.

Today we remember and honor each of the brave men and women who gave their lives for us. #memorialday #murphchallenge @prattprattpratt pic.twitter.com/yeV9osGFMP

The Murph Challenge is presented by clothing brand Forged, which gives back a portion of its sales to wounded veterans and sells tribute T-shirts to honor fallen soldiers and benefit the Navy SEAL foundation and other charities.

Over the last three years, Forged has raised nearly $800,000 for the LT. Michael P. Murphy Memorial Scholarship Foundation through The Murph Challenge campaign.
