Our Mission
Rope 4 Hope was founded by Mandy Shaw who now leads as our passionate and visionary Chairwoman, steering our dedicated leadership team who are determined to turn inspiration into impact. Driven by Mandy’s personal fitness journey and her vision to transform skipping into a powerful fundraising tool, we are building more than an event, we are building a movement for good!
Our mission is simple but powerful: unite communities through the simple art of skipping while raising significant funds for Cancer Research UK.
Our inaugural 2025 event (13.09.25) raised £1000+ uniting participants from the UK, USA and even Australia!
