 "I set the camera up perched against a log and ran as fast as I could, all the way up, and jumped off the top of the rock, all during the 10 second timer." - Mike  "Mick is jumping because I told him to...and now he can't stop." -Donald (photographer)   "We jumped it made our hearts beat faster...but, honestly, it looks crazier than it was." -Donald and Mick  "I am jumping along Going to the Sun Road. It was the perfect spot and I was excited to be in Glacier (again)." - Donald  "I'm jumping at the ranch where I used to work in the Mission Valley, Montana. I'm jumping because I am happy to be back on the ranch where I made lots of happy memories." - Donald  "We had just ridden on horseback up to the crest of the continental divide (in the background). Two of my fellow riders jumped for joy, because we had made it to the top of the world!" - Howard (photographer)    "We are jumping to celebrate the hike...and to see if we still had the energy to JUMP!" - Donald, with Lyn, Angie, and partner, Mick  "We have been jumping for years...and we.love.to.jump. That's all there is to it. Everywhere we go, we jump. It makes us laugh. It makes us happy. It makes us feel like children. We jump because it keeps us young. | 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.
