When Ella Turner heard about Jump Rope for Heart, she immediately thought of her little sister, Colby. Last year, at the age of 6, Ella signed up as a first time Jump Rope for Heart participant and set an incredibly high goal. She wanted to raise $1,000 in memory of her little sister, Colby. It was far more money than her father thought she could raise.
Within 28 hours of sharing her story online, Ella met her ambitious goal. By the time she was done, she had raised more than $5,700 and was the #1 fundraiser in Texas and #10 in the entire nation.
Ella shares some of her thoughts about Jump Rope for Heart and provides information on how you can help.
