Greetings everyone,
we are very pleased to announce that we will now begin to collect wishes for João Marinho Neto’s upcoming 114th birthday! Given João is always willing and happy to send wishes to other SCs, let’s make sure we get lots of wishes to send him on his very special day!
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 27th September 2026. All wishes will then be collated, translated and sent to João 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."

Dear Mr Marinho Neto
I am writing from Australia to congratulate you on reaching the magnificent age of 114.
You are an inspiration to many people. And the birthday wishes you have sent to our very oldest people across the world, are a wonderful and very generous gesture.
I wish you a very happy birthday today and many more years of health and happiness.
Kind regards
