"When Armageddon comes, it would be good to be an Olympic athlete, because running real fast and jumping over stuff could come in handy." - Jack Handey (more deep thoughts by Jack Handey) Add Comment 
"I jump because....... it's Zen. My friend Stew took this photo of me during a skydive over North Shore, Oahu, Hawaii. This is probably one of the most Zen moments I've ever felt in my life. I wasn't thinking about the rent, the dog, the lawn, the laundry, the dirty dishes my girlfriend has been nagging me about, the girlfriend, my mom, my dad, work, or anything else beside the fact that I was screaming expletives at one of my best friends, only inches from my face and knew he couldn't hear a thing. May sound strange but that was one of the most relaxing moments I've ever had in life." - Joshua Oahu, Hawaii 
"Jump into the middle of things, get your hands dirty, fall flat on your face, and then reach for the stars. " -Ben Stein 
"Jumping for random roadtrips to the beach with my best friend (who is not pictured sadly since she took the photo)." -Jenny Cape Hatteras, North Carolina (the Outerbanks) 
"We jump for world peace, literacy, turkey, and tree love." -John, Cate, and Cassidy Columbia, Maryland THANKS. Truly Happy and Amazing Nationwide celebration of Kindness and Scrumptious foods! "Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow." -Melody Beattie 
"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science." -Albert Einstein "I want to marry a girl," I told them, "so I can rest my soul with her till we both get old. This can’t go on all the time - all this franticness and jumping around. We’ve got to go someplace, find something." - Jack Kerouac, in On the Road 
"i jump because.....this is what i can do at my office." - Cynthia the fair wind II kealakeakua bay the big island, hawaii. on the clock. | 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 was interviewed for the Michigan State University Alumni Magazine (Winter 2010 issue, p. 15).
