 "The boy looked over and noticed the camera. His eyes had a sparkle of mischief, a smile forming on his face. 'You want to take picture? He jump.' I looked over to a man he was pointing at, standing on a far ledge, watching others swim. He began to yell at this young man in his local dialect, who eagerly took off his shirt and began to walk towards the lip of the edge. For a moment he stood there, unsure with trepidation before simply stepping off. For a brief moment he flew, not making a sound until he splashed into the well below." - Bernard, photographer Jump...just because! 09/16/2008
 "I jump...just because" - Amir | Welcome to Jump Because!

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."

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.
