Who says that just because you get a few birthdays under you belt you need to stop pursuing a life of adventure? Take Georgina Harwood for example. This South African grandmother celebrated her 100th birthday this past weekend by going skydiving, something she first did when she turned 92. And if jumping out of a perfectly good airplane isn’t wild enough for you, next she intends to go diving with great white sharks near Cape Town. She’s a good inspiration to us all, and we should all be so luck to reach 100 and still enjoy these pursuits.

Hah! This is amazing! I thought I was going to have a heart attack when I went skydiving and I was only 19 years old! Good on this lady, living it up at 100.
