More than 600 Kilpatrick Elementary School students are fighting heart disease this week by doing alternating foot jumps, double-dutches and criss-crosses.

The students are participating in the American Heart Association's "Jump Rope for Heart" program, during their physical education classes. As part of the program, students solicit pledges from neighbors, friends and family members, to give money to the American Heart Association.
