 "This is our oldest daughter doing a jump herself from the swing after she saw her big brother do it. I like how she looks like a little princess jumping, where her big brother looked loud and daring." -Katrina Texas  "[This] is my oldest son jumping from a swing while our oldest daughter looks on with a look of such awe on her face. This photo looks like the landing must have been painful, but it wasn’t. My son is so athletic and daring he landed on both feet and did it again." -Katrina Texas  "[This] picture is my two youngest kids jumping from my son’s bed. Your mother always told you 'DON’T JUMP ON THE BED.' Well this momma told them to not only jump, but I got a picture of them jumping! Why, well…..just because. LOL." -Katrina Texas   "I jump because...I just received my Medical Student white coat!!! I am finally about to begin my medical school journey after applying three times and waiting three years to be accepted. So, now it is time to study medicine at UTHSCSA!! My roommate, Maeghan Gibson, joined in on the second jump! (Thanks to my brother-in-law, Jeff Svadlenak of JWS Images, for laying on the ground to snag these amazing jumping pics!!)" - Deborah, with Maeghan in the second photo San Antonio, Texas  "Chinati interns jump for Judd!" - Courtney, Emily, Mark, Anna, and Diana Marfa, Texas  "I jump because it was El paso, it was white sands and it was glorious. Why jump? Why not!" -Isaac El Paso, Texas  We are "jumping because there is no better way to spend Thanksgiving than with your best friends and the cowboys!" - Jethe, Kim, Emily, Jeni, Alyssa  "I asked one of my favorite bands, Department of Eagles, to jump with me after a show at Waterloo Records at SXSW. Even though we had an audience and felt really ridiculous doing it, they obliged and will probably hate me for putting this up now! :)" - Kerry  "I jump Because Daddy MaC will make ya JUMP JUMP~ Chris Cross will make ya JUMP JUMP $ really because no matter how high we get we can Always jump higher." -Amir | 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).
