Why Sponsor the Miracle Hope 5K?
To Honor a Brave Life and Support Life-Changing Therapy
You already know Miracle’s inspiring story: a courageous girl who faced microcephaly, cerebral palsy, and epilepsy with unbreakable joy, strength, and unconditional love. Therapeutic riding at Healing Strides of Virginia brought her physical gains (like learning to sit up) and those radiant smiles that meant everything to her family.
Now in its 4th year (May 9, 2026, celebrating her would-be 18th birthday), this family-friendly 5K raises 100% of proceeds for Healing Strides—a non-profit, therapeutic riding and mental health facility.
With professional, certified/credentialed staff and horses, they provide life-changing equine-assisted programs:
- Therapeutic riding & hippotherapy for strength, balance, coordination, and confidence and other skills.
- Equine-assisted learning & psychotherapy for emotional regulation, social skills, and mental health/wellness.
- Support for kids and adults with disabilities, veterans, seniors, and more—delivering measurable physical, emotional, and cognitive progress.
