Greetings everyone,
we are very pleased to announce that we will now begin to collect wishes for Ken Weeks’ upcoming 113th birthday! His care home are very keen to make his birthday as special as possible and said one of the highlights for Ken last year, was reading all the greetings sent to him from around the world.
Please send in your wish or creation such as a pic collage/your own personal drawing etc to make her happy on her very special day!
You can send your wish here in a comment or if you prefer you can send your wish in a private message to myself. You can also email your wish to me at [email protected] or to Georg Fürholzer at [email protected] or to Ben Hinchliffe at [email protected]
The wish collection is also open on The 110 Club, LongeviQuest Top 10 Facebook Group.
IMPORTANT: the deadline for the collection is 9 a.m. GMT 26th September 2026. All wishes will then be collated, translated and sent to Ken in time for 5th October.
PLEASE include your name rather than username and your country/city at the end of your message as it will mean far more to João and her family/care team to know where in the world her wishes are from. This may mean you prefer to send your wish privately to us. If you don’t include your name and country… your wish WILL NOT be included in the collection.
We look forward to seeing everyone’s wishes and creations in the coming days!
Thanks

When the young commander of the guard declared his love for her, she rejected him simply because his frivolity startled her. "See how simple he is," she told Amaranta. "He says that he’s dying because of me, as if I were a bad case of colic."

To Ken,
What a fantastic milestone! Many congratulations on reaching your 113th birthday. May you enjoy a wonderful day filled with love, laughter, and many happy memories.
