 "My jumping is a tradition that my mother and I share whenever we travel together. It's become such a fun pastime that we've carried it all throughout Europe in our travels! I attached a collage showing some of my examples...I'm so happy that other people jump for fun too!" -Michelle London, Paris, Manchester, Stonehenge, Rome! Add Comment This photo was sent as a submission for our current Jump Because Challenge + Contest. As the contest continues, we will be posting some of our favorites. Jumpers were asked to submit a photo that best represents this quote from jumping inspiration, Philippe Halsman. "When you ask a person to jump, his attention is mostly directed toward the act of jumping and the mask falls so that the real person appears."  "Jumping because I've seen the 'jumpology' contest/challenge!" -Michael Stanage Edge in the Peak District, England  "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  "This photo was taken upon Sourton Tor, Dartmoor, near my home in Devon, England. It was a bitterly cold, windy day, I jump beacuase there is nothing better better in the outdoors, with the wind in your hair on a clear day." - Hannah Sourton Tor, Dartmoor, England  "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 jump because I managed to not get killed jumping in the middle of Abbey Road - and, because the Beatles were the best rock group of all time!" -Jenny Abbey Road London, England  "I'm jumping because I'm in the world's most posh and beautiful city: London!" -Jenny Westminster Abbey London, England  "I jump because it's the closest thing to flying." -David London, England  "Me and my mates jump because we do parkour, and it involves jumping. Plus it is GREAT FUN :D." -Joe and Max  "We jump to End Child Poverty!" - Cheer Fit Cheerleaders | 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).
