Empowering Kentucky girls through movement, mentorship, and research

06/03/2026

Happy World Bicycle Day! 🚲 Today, we’re spotlighting AGHW Program Director Dr. Dee Dlugonski and her commitment to helping families be active together.

“My childhood was filled with opportunities for active outdoor play. Today, as both a parent and a researcher, I am committed to helping families spend more time being active together, primarily through learn to bike programs that get the whole family outside!”

We love this reminder that creating opportunities for movement in childhood can shape health and connection for years to come!

As we head into NBA Finals week, we’re taking a moment to thank AGHW Board Member Kelly Cecil for his years of service to the Active Girls Healthy Women Program. Since 2019, Kelly has been an important part of AGHW’s journey, including serving as our first Board Chair and helping support the organization’s growth over the years.

“As a kid, being active in sports instilled a lifelong love for movement and discipline. That early foundation has shaped a healthier lifestyle now, keeping me active and balanced well into adulthood.”

Thank you, Kelly, for your leadership, support, and commitment to AGHW.
