My Jump!

Jump! is a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting seniors in achieving their bucket list. Everything we do is inspired by our enduring mission: • To inspire seniors throughout the country who would normally be reluctant to take a leap of faith. • To sustain relationships with these special individuals long after their Jump! • To touch the heart of the "forgotten" and have a positive and everlasting impact on their lives.

For the past 12 years, My Jump! has been fulfilling bucket list wishes for those who need it the most. It started back in 2011 when Estelle Eisenberg went skydiving on her 90th birthday. Estelle said that she just wanted to be closer to her late husband who had just passed. Several years later, Louise Spencer shared the same sentiment when she wanted to get behind the wheel of an 18-wheeler to honor her late husband who drove a big-rig for 30 years. My Jump! helped Louise into her seat 2 days before turning 92! Louise barely spoke a word at her Senior Living Community but after the event, she truly became a rock star!

We have witnessed the power of what fulfilling a bucket list wish can do to a person, especially someone in their 80's & 90's. It's life changing and maybe even life extending. Through the phone calls, emails and handwritten letters that we receive from family members, they describe their parents or grandparents having more "pep in their step" with a newly discovered Zest for life! That's how we measure our success, and it seems to be infectious, even on a national scale. We have been blessed to be featured on ABC World News, Good Morning America, PBS and CNN Heroes.

This is the ultimate passion project and the one thing we've learned over the past 12 years, everyone should have a bucket list and there are no bad bucket list items.
