  "Jump because... Steve, Nancy, daughter Amy, son-in-law Kelsey, grandsons P. (2 y.o.), S. (3), and J. (8) were celebrating family time between Christmas and New Years in Fitchburg. We tried some jumps with Steve's super lamo HP Photosmart 315 (c. 2001) camera. For two of them we caught sufficient air to submit to Jump Because. There was much confirmation of the "laughter" theorem! Photo 1 is (left to right) Amy, S., and Kelsey in early lift-off. Photo 2 is J. at apex, P. resting, and the City of Madison obscured by haze in the distance. Remains of the 18" blizzard of 2009 are everywhere." -Steve Wisconsin Nighttime at the Eiffel Tower, jump! 01/07/2010

 In November of 2011, we asked jumpers to submit a photo that kept the spirit of Thanksgiving and this quote in mind:
"We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures." -Thornton Wilder This photo above, sent in by Rick from Utah, was chosen as the winner of this JB Challenge + Contest! His submission features his family, who was celebrating their first Christmas together in 5 years. As Rick put it, "That was a moment worth jumping." The complete story behind the jump and the original post can be viewed here. Current Favorite Jump:
A wonderful JumpBecause story: Jump Because... For a Cause!
In June 2010, JumpBecause hosted a Potluck-for-a-Cause fundraiser to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. People brought amazing food, made fun crafts, participated in a raffle, and listened to great local music... and of course JUMPED! Check out the highlights of our fundraiser on the "Causes" page.
