Let the rain sing you a lullaby." -Langston Hughes When is the last time you danced in the rain? When is the last time you jumped in puddles after a rainstorm?  "Jumping for eternal youth! I certainly don't need a fountain for that :)" -Jenny At the entrance to the Fountain of Youth, St. Augustine, Florida  "She's jumping because it is a beautiful, sunny, warm Nome Alaska day!" -Rick Nome, Alaska "Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul." -Samuel Ullman Jumping? Laughing? Cooking? What things do you do to stay young? “The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live.” -Flora Whittemore  "I made a jumping photo of my friend Juliana while we were waiting for sunset in Golden hill park in North London. Cos she is jumping, I asked her - why did you jump on that picture? :) And she said: 'I jumped, because you asked me to... :D.' -Milos North London, England  Photo from and property of: http://cepollar.stu.cofc.edu/ljump.jpg “Scientists have proven that it's impossible to long-jump 30 feet, but I don't listen to that kind of talk. Thoughts like that have a way of sinking into your feet.” -Carl Lewis  "I jumped because I just married my bestfriend. Because I had just danced all night with all my favorite people in the world. Because it was HOT!" -Jessica Taylorsville Lake, Kentucky | Welcome to Jump Because!

 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).
One of Jump Because's founders attended MSU as an undergraduate and we're all proud to see JB featured among other Spartan news!  Jump Because in
