Cobram Anglican Grammar students raise more than $6000 for Heart Foundation

Many went over and above their target and once finished the students raised an amazing $6250.

The heart skipping challenge is currently celebrating its 40th year.

To celebrate they have an ambitious aim of having people jump rope for 40,000 hours — and have already reached 26,950.

CAG Year 3 student Koa Wilson raised $556, and Year Two student Liam Murphy raised almost $500.

Four students managed to reach a total north of $300, while four others managed to reach $200.

As a thank you for their skipping and fundraising exploits, at the end of term three, each participating student received a certificate of appreciation and small gift from the Heart Foundation.

The students’ collective efforts will help support Australians living with heart disease by contributing to the funding of high-impact research, as well as by building community awareness around living a heart-healthy lifestyle.
