Jump Rope

This week I did Jump Rope for Heart. Jump Rope for Heart is a time for jumping--like jumping rope and jumping over poles--during PE time at school. Kids jump rope to stay healthy, especially having a healthy heart. But, Jump Rope for Heart helps keeps other people healthy, too. It does that by raising money. The money goes to the American Heart Association. The American Heart Association helps people learn to have healthy hearts by eating good foods and exercising. But, it also helps kids who are born with broken hearts, like Kai. It helps find good medicines for kids and it does research on fixing hearts.

I hope the American Heart Association can make hearts feel better. I hope they find new medicine to help the way blood pumps, so kids with heart defects can breathe easier. That way kids won’t turn blue. We hope the American Heart Association can invent surgeries that aren't so hard on kids’ bodies and find a way to make pokes not hurt.

When you donate, you can help that happen. I have to turn in my money next week Tuesday (Feb. 16), but you can still donate to Jump Rope for Heart until then. You can visit my fundraising site to donate. Thank you to the people who already donated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love, Sam
