She Made It to 100. How Far Will You Go?
My mother, Orpha Thrasher, crossed the century mark and kept going. At 104, she is still moving, still involved and still looking forward. Her life is the inspiration behind this page.

See how far you’ve travelled, how much road remains to 100 — and what lies beyond it.
One Man. One Goal. One Hundred Years.
Journey to 100 began with my father, Ivan William Thrasher. His goal was simple: live to be 100. He made it to 96.
Dad died in 2011, but the idea didn’t end with him. His goal stayed with me — and today the Journey to 100 continues for anyone willing to ask the same question: how far will you go?
The Point Isn’t Just the Number
No clock can tell us how long we’re going to live. This one does something simpler: it makes time visible — the years behind us, the road ahead and the choices we still have the opportunity to make today.
Your clock is already running. How far will you go?
