Allison Haley Luffman is a sales and marketing professional in Nashville, Tennessee, who has served as the regional manager of Showplace Design Center since 2011. In her spare time, Allison Haley Luffman volunteers with the American Heart Association and is involved with the organization’s annual Jump Rope For Heart event.
The American Heart Association funds research into heart disease and raises awareness with public health education. Jump Rope For Heart is an annual event that began more than 35 years ago in 1978. Since its inception, the event has raised more than $750 million, which has funded research and education programs.
Focused on school-aged children and held at nearly 30,000 schools, Jump Rope For Heart strives to show participants that keeping their heart healthy can be fun. Kids are encouraged to try out alternative jump rope techniques, and many schools set up stations that allow all students to play, regardless of their skill level.
The event’s website recommends laying ropes on the floors and having kindergarten children leap over them. Second-graders can jump in teams, with two people inside one rope. Older students can play double Dutch or practice cross-overs and jumping on one foot.
The website also encourages making Hula-Hoops, limbo, and hopscotch available as alternate heart-healthy activities.
