Oklahoma’s Mary Forsythe is about to turn 100 years old — but it is technically only her twenty-fifth birthday.

Forsythe, of the Sandy Springs community, was born on February 29, 1924.

Because she was born on a Leap Day, she has only been able to celebrate the actual date of her birthday every four years.

Her community has gotten together to celebrate her centenarian event a bit early, with KOKI News cameras covering the party.

According to History.com, only five million people globally were born on a Leap Day.
