How your child can become a Heart Hero!
Making Jump Rope fun
for over 40 years
When your kids sign up for Jump Rope for Heart, they become Heart Heroes – everyday superheroes who are leading the way in the fight against heart disease.
By skipping and fundraising for the Heart Foundation, primary school students across Australia help to improve their own heart health and make a difference to the lives - and hearts - of others. Get your child's school skipping with us in 2026!

Iris and I could not be more proud of Abi! We always knew she was a little champion, but to be putting in this much effort and raising so much money for the Heart Foundation in her first year at school is fantastic. Iris has also been working hard behind the scenes to support Abi’s skipping and fundraising efforts. It means a lot to our family, especially my mum.
- Mark P, Father Abi
They have such a personal connection to heart disease and really enjoy skipping,” she said. “They also understand how important it is to raise funds for research into conditions like hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).
- Melissa W, Mother of Jacob and Byron
Seeing my child’s excitement and determination to learn something new is one of the best parts of Jump Rope for Heart. Skipping is such a fabulous exercise for everyone, it brought all the kids together and all the mums loved it too!
