Red River Gorge Zipline Looking for a quick getaway from the hustle and bustle of the Lexington cityscape? Visit the great outdoors of the Red River Gorge! Only an hour drive from Lexington, the spot is perfect for a quick night’s stay or a weekend. The Red River Gorge Zipline Tour is one of the finest ways to spend a day at the scenic site. With this tour, visitors will experience a 5 line course including a 3 line Canopy Tour. The last two lines are the site’s tallest and longest. Guests will experience heights of nearly 350 feet, travel along a cable at a distance of nearly 2000 feet, and reach speeds up to 55 miles per hour. The only limitation here is the weight limit (between 70 and 250 pounds.) While at the Gorge, guests can stay in the beautiful Cliffview Resort. Each room at this 16 room lodge features 2 queen beds, a flat screen TV, and private bath. The majority of the rooms also have sliding glass doors that provide breath-taking views of the Cowan Fork Gorge and exit to the resort’s wrap-around porch. Whether for a great way to spend time with the family or to cross off a bucket list item, Red River Gorge Zipline is the place to be! Give the gift of heart-healthy fun this year! Gift cards are available for Red River Gorge Zipline and Cliffview Resort!

Sanders Brown Center on Aging At the University of Kentucky Sanders-Brown Center on Aging (SBCoA), scientists work together to improve the health of the elderly in Kentucky and beyond through research dedicated to understanding the aging process and age-related brain diseases, and through education and clinical programs that promote healthy brain aging. Over the past three decades, SBCoA has emerged as one of the nation’s leading centers on aging. SBCoA was one of the first 10 NIH-funded Alzheimer’s Disease Research Centers in the United States. SBCoA focuses on basic and applied research in Alzheimer’s disease and related neurodegenerative disorders. They feature opportunities for individuals with and without memory problems to contribute to their ongoing research efforts by volunteering for clinical research studies. There are also opportunities for individuals to support their research through donations, which accelerate their efforts toward finding a cure for Alzheimer’s. The center also provides outreach for those afflicted by Alzheimer’s disease, as well as clinical programs involving Alzheimer’s and other related neurodegenerative disorders. They offer free memory screens and a monthly Memory Café for patients and caregivers.
