Jump-Rope Club Performance
Jump Rope for Heart is a nationwide event conducted to educate students about the benefits of aerobic exercise and heart health. Most people do not realize that the risks for heart disease often begin in childhood, with early changes visible even in children as young as 3 to 5 years old. These changes can be halted or reversed by living a "heart healthy" life. This includes eating well, not smoking and staying physically active.
On February 14th and 15th, all the students at Fort River jumped rope for the American Heart Association. Many of them raised money for AHA. Last year the total funds raised exceeded $10,000.
