Jump Rope/Hoops for Hearts

On Saturday, March 27th, Kason took part in the Hoops for Hearts event at his school. Many of you contributed to this fundraiser, and thanks to all of you, Kason was able to raise $325!!! He was so excited about this event. The kids all worked hard during P.E. practicing their jump roping and basketball skills. Kason did great! He won the jump rope endurance challenge and was one of two "last men standing". He won a red tinsel wig for this accomplishment! As you can see from the video, he loved the wig! (On a side note, I am still trying to figure out our new video camera. I haven't learned how to edit movies properly. So it just kind of randomly edits them for me).

In addition to jump roping, the kids also had basketball competitions. Kason was the 'last man standing' in 2 of the competitions and won them both. Wow! Great job, Kason!

It was a great event for a great cause. Kason even learned about kids and adults with heart conditions and how important it is to keep your heart healthy. Thanks to all of you who donated. Hope you enjoy the video!
