Sponsored Skip Raises £335

A big thanks to Sharon Brooks for organising a sponsored skip at her afterschool club, The Kids Company, last month.

Sharon decided to create health awareness with her pupils and at the same time raise money for HeartLine. Sharon commented, "I really wanted to do something to show how a simple an exercise like skipping is and it can be done anywhere at any time.

The sponsored skip was held over a period of several days and everyone who took part was encouraged to check their heart rate before they started skipping so that individuals could see how quickly their heart rate increased after exercising."
