"I jump because.... With my wife and family overseas I am really getting bored to the point of regressing to childlike state (not that, that's very difficult for me!). After browsing some youtube stuff I came across a website of some asian girl who takes a picture a day appearing to levitate by jumping in the air in some really cool and calm looking poses. So basically it made me laugh to myself and pass a little time." - Steve Brisbane, Australia Love is what's jumping around in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen. -Brent, 7 years old Happy Holidays to all!

 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).
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
