"Jump Because it's Baja, Baby!" - Megan, Sarah, Sara, Anna and Allie Old Man's, San Jose del Cabo, Baja California Sur _ __"Where'd the days go? When all we did was play And the stress that we were under wasn't stress at all Just a run and a jump into a harmless fall from Walking by a high-rise to a landmark square You see millions of people with millions of cares And I struggle to the train to make my way home I look at the people as they sit there alone." These Streets, by Paolo Nutini JB Note: The video and lyrics above are the sole property of Frou Frou. We hope you enjoy this song! The kids know what they want: to jump! 01/10/2012
_"I'm a photographer and I live in Chubut-Patagonia, a place with beautiful beaches (among other landscapes). I had a very unusual photo shoot…with Young graduates…ufffff I didn’t knew what was going to happen but I made it alive!!! I had a hard time coming up with ideas for group photos…I draw a couple of the scenes, search the web (I didn’t find too much) and in the end, the kids knew what they wanted, a big jump!!!!" - Roxana Union Beach, Chubut, Argentina Be bold, Jump! 01/09/2012
_"Long have you timidly waded Holding a plank by the shore, Now I will you to be a bold swimmer, To jump off in the midst of the sea, Rise again, nod to me, shout, And laughingly dash with your hair." — Walt Whitman, from Song of Myself One and only bridge jump! 01/08/2012

_"I Jump Because..I feel free while I'm up in the air...no one can catch you." - Jacky Jump for joy and happiness, for fun and for love! Dance, Sisters, Me, Activities. Rancho Cucamonga, California The power of one, jump! 01/05/2012
_"The power of one is above all things the power to believe in yourself, often well beyond any latent ability you may have previously demonstrated. The mind is the athlete, the body is simply the means it uses to run faster or longer, jump higher, shoot straighter, kick better, swim harder, hit further, or box better." - Bryce Courtenay, The Power of One | 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).
