 "This picture was taken in front of an erupting volcano located outside the city of Antigua, Guatemala. Around 8,000 ft elevation.We traveled there for Thanksgiving, 2010, from Roatan, Honduras where we were teaching English for the school year. It was EPIC." - Jessica Near Antigua, Guatemala Add Comment  I jump because..."I traveled with a group of Rutgers students and alums to Guatemala over Spring Break to work with indigenous Mayan farmers and communities through CONIC--National Coordination of Indigenous Peoples and Campesinos. This was after we had hiked to the top of Comalapa to visit the volunteer firefighters, bomberos, and help install a donated computer." - Tiffany  "We jump because we love Guatemala." -Treston, Alicia, JB, Taylor, Holly and Kenton | 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.
