So, I feel like I may have helped push the Heart Foundation into this decision. Last year, they took away MyMarathon and replaced it with a skipping rope challenge. Not that I could’ve participated in any fitness challenge, given how pregnant I was at the time.

I’ve always felt a strong connection to the marathon, especially since we’ve been doing it every year since we lost my dad in 2017 to an aortic aneurysm.

After sending several frustrated emails and posting some comments abou jump rope not being inclusive on their Facebook and Instagram, it seems like they’ve heard us.

Yes, it’s had a rebrand, with a new name and a new month, but it’s still the same challenge and the same important cause that needs all the fundraising it can get.
