So what did you do for your birthday this year?

Georgina Harwood celebrated her 100th year in style Saturday by skydiving in Cape Town, South Africa. Her friends and family joined her, watching safely from the ground.
After successfully jumping, the birthday girl celebrated her return to Earth with a bit of bubbly. You might say she's the coolest 100-year-old person that has ever lived, considering she started skydiving at age 92.



But wait — it gets better. Harwood continued her extreme birthday celebrations on Monday by taking a dip in a shark cage. She was joined by her close family, including her great grandson.

"I'm so glad I did it," Harwood said after swimming with the sharks. "I just can't compare it to anything else."


But the great grandmother made sure that she wasn't the complete center of attention during her birthday celebrations. She used the opportunity to help raise funds for the National Sea Rescue Institute, asking her party guests to donate to the institution in place of giving her gifts.

"What do you give an old lady? Chocolate? Whiskey? Scarves? I don't want them really," Harwood told The NSRI.
