"This a photo that I made in Kiyomizudera, Japan with my friends, we study architecture in the University in Lima Peru and we went to China and Japan this summer." -Daniella, Melissa, Martha, Paloma, and me, Lu-CIA Jump to share! 07/25/2008
"I jumped because I saw a beautiful sunset and I had no one to share it with. Something this breath-taking should be experienced with others. Only my Nikon made it possible." -Astrid "I jumped because you asked me to, but I jumped at the Itsukushima Shrine because World Heritage Sites rock my world and my heritage. Itsukushima is more frequently photographed when the tide is in to give the impression that the shrine is floating on the sea. The picture of me was taken when the tide was out." -Anis International Jump Day: Jumping Japan! 05/30/2008

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 in MSU Alumni Magazine
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
