Unicorns among us 5k

🏃‍♀️ Race Overview

On February 21st, 2026, at 301 Division Ave, Ormond Beach, FL, our beautiful Mia—our brave “medical unicorn”—gained her wings after a courageous battle with Heterotaxy Syndrome. Mia’s strength, light, and magical spirit inspired everyone who knew her, and now we run in her honor.

💖 About Heterotaxy Syndrome

Heterotaxy Syndrome is a rare and complex condition that affects the arrangement of the body’s organs and is often associated with serious heart defects. It occurs in roughly 1 in 10,000 births, yet many have never heard of it. The journey for families affected by Heterotaxy is filled with medical challenges, uncertainty, and the need for greater awareness and research.

🌈 Event Purpose

Unicorns Among Us 5K is more than just a race—it’s a celebration of Mia’s life and a step toward hope for other children and families walking a similar path. Proceeds from this event will be donated to The Heterotaxy Connection, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting families, raising awareness, and funding research to improve outcomes for those with Heterotaxy Syndrome.
