PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — Antoinette Marshal from Southwest Philadelphia uses jumping rope as a form of therapy. She is also double-dutching her way into viral fame.
The 49-year-old’s story proves her determination and a few jumps can help you leap over any obstacle.
Marshal had five surgeries for a partial mastectomy.
In 2016, when she was undergoing radiation for breast cancer, she said jumping rope gave her a sense of strength both mentally and physically.
She now jumps rope three days a week and is hoping to get teens and young kids into the activity.
Marshal is also part of several jump rope groups around Philadelphia, including Philly Girls Jump.
A video of her jump rope workout went viral on TikTok with 1.8 million views.
