## Resource

At 90, Dr. Art Ulene is defying age itself by preparing to summit Mount Kilimanjaro on his birthday — not just for the view, but to prove that vitality isn’t reserved for the young. A retired OB-GYN and former TODAY Show medical contributor, he’s already conquered peaks in South America and even trekked near Everest. With daily stair climbs, leg workouts, and a hip replacement behind him, he’s focused on the journey, not the summit. His message? Don’t let age limit you — start healthy habits early, stay active, and you can thrive well into your later years. He’s flying to Africa on June 28, acclimatizing for 14 days, and aims to reach the top by 2 AM on July 13 — whether he makes it or not, the climb itself is the victory.
