Heart Foundation Walking Group, Frankston
Prior to becoming a Heart Foundation Group, this monthly walk was coordinated by the PPH Cardiac Rehab program. I joined in 2015 and have enjoyed the support of it's members. We do one or more laps of the Frankston Botanic Gardens. Thanks to those members who have generously donated to my skipping challenge.Skipping getting easier
A slightly longer and heavier rope has resulted in my "turn, step step" extending up to 10 consecutive skips on the way to 79 skips. Yay!FHS Girls
It's 55 years since our school days together and yet, we pick up conversations as though we are still together. Thanks to you all for your friendship over these years and your generous donations to the Heart Foundation. See you at the next lunch.Cardiac Rehab, Frankston
This Christmas, I will be retiring from the Peninsula Private Hospital Program after over 8 years as a volunteer. Many of our regular exercise participants have donated towards my "Skip for Heart" challenge. It has given me a warm sense of appreciation and I wish to thank everyone for their kindness and generosity.Zahli was the star skipper

Turn and step over. 79 repeats

Skips are hard on knees
I only managed 79 low intensity skips at the beginning of my walking group today. I did my best and cut short my walk. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better.Skipping with Jenny & Alan, Warrnambool, Day 4

Blue Lake, Mt Gambier, Day 3.
I started this 3.6 Km loop with my two groups of 79 skips and animated steps. The slight incline had me huffing and puffing.Skipping with Bronya & Jasmine

Beware of skipping beats
This November, I’m challenging myself to 79 skips or animated steps a day (or more!). I’m doing it to support heart health, and in honour of the 79 Australians whose lives are cut short by heart disease every day.
Every skip honours people I love, and every dollar I raise is helping to support healthier hearts for every generation.
Thank you to my Sponsors

Sorry to see you go. We have had many chats around the rack over the years. I wish I could skip, even at such a low lev - would probably fall over!
