It wasn't long ago that living to 100 was a monumental feat. But in most cases, the centenarian would be frail and barely aware.
Thankfully, times have changed! Now, many are quite vibrant. At 107, Wilhelmina Hoorn raises the bar of what's possible to a whole new level!
Come celebrate her birthday with a woman who has lived around the world and seen great hardships and great joy. Plus, her birthday is made even more special by the fact that she gets to celebrate it with five generations of her family, including her three feisty daughters -- all in their 80s themselves.
To meet more extraordinary people like Wilhelmina check out our Centenarian Project and learn how you can live to 100.

Posted 3:17pm December 14th, 2010What a thrill it was to see the video of Wilhelmina Hoorn - still very vibrant at 107. I vividly remember Wilhelmina being a wonderful volunteer in the years I served as director of the Retired & Senior Volunteer Program of Seminole County - over 20 years ago. She was so energetic, full of spirit and life, that I'm not at all surprised to see her still so vivacious and active. What an inspiration she is to all of us.
