Guinness World Record Holder Encourages Kids to Jump Up

Demonstrating how quick the legendary Arizona Rangers are on their feet, jump-roping Guinness World Record Holder Mark Rothstein provided an inspirational program and demonstration to Winslow youth through a J.U.M.P event (Jump Up for our Military and Police), June 19, at the Route 66 Plaza.

Rothstein claimed the world record by jumping rope for 36 hours. He delivers messages around the state about keeping fit, showing integrity and reminding children that police officers and military personnel are their friends.

The Arizona Rangers are a special brand of highly trained law enforcement volunteers who got their start in the early 1900s. They were called in to rid the West of outlaws, bandits and gangs of bad guys who made travel dangerous for those crossing the Arizona Territory. Many of the original Arizona Rangers had fought alongside Theodore Roosevelt as members of his famous Rough Riders – the first U.S. volunteer Cavalry.

Today, Arizona Rangers continue the tradition of answering the call when they are needed – visible at parades, festivals, air shows and in schools – to help keep the order and back up law enforcement. QCBN
