I jump because..."I traveled with a group of Rutgers students and alums to Guatemala over Spring Break to work with indigenous Mayan farmers and communities through CONIC--National Coordination of Indigenous Peoples and Campesinos.  This was after we had hiked to the top of Comalapa to visit the volunteer firefighters, bomberos, and help install a donated computer." - Tiffany

After this series of jumps, I thought it would be funny to jump with one shoe off. Lost my balance in midair after swinging at a tennis ball below my body. Landed onto the concrete tennis court and shattered my heel bone into many pieces. Now, I'm searching for a website "Ineverjumpbecause.com" - Franz
