Students Jump For Their Heart and to Save Lives !!!!
Jump
Rope For Heart teaches students how physical fitness benefits the heart and
shows them that volunteering can be a fun and positive experience for the whole
community. The need to educate children about the importance of physical
activity couldn’t be timelier. According to recent studies, about one-third of
children ages 2 to 19 are overweight and obese.
“By
including physical activity into their daily routines, kids can significantly
reduce the onset and burden of heart disease,“ said Tabitha Poplaski,
spokesperson for the Greater Utica Chapter of the American Heart Association “By
raising money through Jump Rope For Heart, we are preventing heart disease and
obesity for the next generation of Americans. Kids are literally jumping into a
heart healthier life while becoming passionate about raising money for other
kids with sick hearts.”
For 35 years, Jump Rope For Heart has raised more than $818
million for the fight against heart disease and stroke. Millions of students
have learned about heart health and how nutrition and physical activity can
help prevent heart disease and stroke. Jump Rope For Heart is
co-sponsored by the American Heart Association and the American Alliance for
Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance.
