Let's make this birthday one to remember.

75 years old (Born on August 22, 1949)

Happy Birthday, Diana Nyad! You're the only person we know who can casually say they've swum from Cuba to Florida without a shark cage—most of us can't even brave the kiddie pool without floaties. Your fearless spirit and determination have inspired countless people around the globe, proving that age is just a number (and sharks are merely motivational swimming partners).

From your groundbreaking books like "Other Shores" and "Basic Training for Women," to capturing Keyshawn Johnson's story in "Boss of Me," you've shown us all how to dive headfirst into life's challenges. Here's wishing you another year filled with adventure, laughter, and perhaps fewer jellyfish encounters!
