Biking for a Cause in RVA! 10/15/2011
  "I jump because about 15 years ago I had the crazy idea to ride my bike across the country. That idea became a reality a little over 2 months ago after a couple friends and I steered our handle bars east from Florence, Oregon. After 2 months, a ton of peddling, and the most unimaginable adventure I have ever encountered, I rolled into Richmond, Virginia to take a couple rest days before continuing my journey north to New York City. All along the way people have been generously donating to the blog I document the tour with, bikingforacause.tumblr.com, and ultimately that is why I jump. I jump because it saves lives. Enjoy these pics of my great friends Jon and Hannah; I sure enjoyed jumping with them in such a great city." - Dan Earlier this summer, jump because featured a shoutout to Dan and Biking for a Cause.

A few days ago on Jump Because, we posted a "shout-out" to one of our good friends, Trevor Frost (http://www.jumpbecause.com/1/post/2011/03/jb-shoutout-want-to-win-a-trip-to-the-galapagos-and-help-save-the-sumatran-tiger-jump-and-vote-for-trevor.html). Trevor is a National Geographic young explorer and is competing against just one other person in their Expedition Granted Contest. Scientists estimate that there are only 250 to 300 Sumatran tigers left in the wild - making it one of the most endangered wild cats in the world. Panthera, the world's leading cat conservation organization believes the only way to save them is by stopping humans from killing them - this means we need strong anti-poaching programs. Vote for Trevor Frost, a big Jump Because fan and Richmond, Virginia local, at the link below to help him create stronger anti-poaching programs in Sumatra. You can vote here today - and try to vote everyday between now and April 7. Did we mention that the more you vote the better your chance of winning a trip to the Galapagos? Pretty cool! Vote and learn more about Trevor right here or go to this link: http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/expedition-week-granted-contest/?vote=trevor  | 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).
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
