A PE teacher at my daughter’s school is leading students to participate in a Jump Rope for Heart Fundraiser. The American Heart Association event raises money for vital heart and stroke research as well as local patient care. Students will jump rope in their gym classes. In addition to helping people live longer, healthier lives, the Jump Rope event also teaches the importance of regular physical activity and community service.
Like many, I have lost a number of family members and friends to heart disease and stroke. Make a donation to Jump Rope for Heart in my daughter's name.
Her school will qualify for gift certificates for free physical education equipment based on the amount raised. Each student who raises a minimum of $40 will be invited to participate in a free, after-school Bonus Gym class.
