 "We jump because we are in the middle of a field and it's freezing :S :D." -Ellen http://www.flickr.com/photos/marmotgirl/ Suffolk, England  "I jumped because I can! Enjoy every moment in every location..! :-)" - Mike Stanage Edge in the Peak District Derbyshire, United Kingdom  "I jump because every kid who plays an instrument has wished they were in a band. We imagine the ultimate high to be performing on stage; and as so many of us never make it there sometimes your bedroom has to suffice. Sometimes we don't even notice the difference!" - Sam Edinburgh, Scotland   "We jump because we love god!' =)." -Juan Guayana City, Venezuela  "I jump, and take pictures of people jumping, because no matter how bad your day is, you can't be grumpy when you're in the air!" - Rick Salt Lake City, Utah  "We jump because we are so close to touching the sky." -Tatiana Traverse City, Michigan  "I jump everyday. It's my bright spot, my release, my energy, my passion. This jump came after a long day of teaching. Being a high school art teacher, you are easily reminded of how much you are still just a kid - still loving, learning, failing and just being. My first instinct after the bell rang on a rough day was to find a safe place - my neighborhood playground." - Megan Starr Park, Royal Oak, Michigan  "They jump because the river is a great place to cool off when it's 90 degrees in April." - Rich Richmond, Virginia  "I jump because I love to ride my Invisi-bike!" - Greg, for TOMS Shoes p/b KindHuman Sports.

 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.  Jump Because in MSU Alumni Magazine
Jump Because was interviewed for the Michigan State University Alumni Magazine (Winter 2010 issue, p. 15).
