How can you Jump to South Africa?

Step 1 Boring Stuff: When you register, read the waiver carefully, and agree to the terms. If you’re under 18, you need to show your parents and have their permission to participate. (Tip: This is the perfect time to get your parents to ask their friends to donate!)

Step 2 Fun Stuff: Once you register, set up your fundraising page – where all the magic happens! You can personalize it with your own picture, message, video, etc. And, it’s the place where you’ll win the support of your family and friends, so make it good!
