For many children with complex medical conditions, a MIC-KEY G-button is part of everyday life. It's a small feeding tube button that delivers nutrition, hydration, and medication directly to the stomach when eating by mouth isn't possible or isn't enough. Manufactured by Avanos Medical, the term is so widely used that many clinicians and families use "MIC-KEY" generically to refer to any low-profile G-button, even when it's a different brand.

As we prepared to bring 10 incredible children to Walt Disney World, our team at imadi had an idea.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐟, 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐚 "𝐌𝐈𝐂-𝐊𝐄𝐘" 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐚 "𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐲"? 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐝?

Our team designed and 3D-printed a custom Mickey-inspired cover that fit over a G-button, turning a medical device into a little piece of Disney magic.

A few months ago, the imadi programming team gathered around a dinning room table dreaming about what this summer at Eagle Point could become. Someone suggested a Disney theme. "Disney..madi we'd call it." Then another idea followed... "What if we didn't just bring Disney to camp? What if we actually brought the kids to Disney World?"

It sounded impossible. But around here, some of our favorite stories begin that way. Months of dreaming, logistics, and a little bit of Disney magic later, that impossible idea became reality.

Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of Ahuva Wertenteil Orlofsky and Aaron Orlofsky, nearly 10 incredible children living with life-changing medical conditions were surprised with a visit to their home from their favorite Disney princess, and then boarded a plane to Orlando for two unforgettable nights and one absolutely magical day in the Magic Kingdom.

There are moments that can't be measured by photos or itineraries. The look on a child's face as they walk down Main Street for the very first time. The excitement of seeing Cinderella Castle. The freedom to simply be a kid, without hospital rooms, treatments, or diagnoses defining the day.

As Disneymadi transformed our Eagle Point campus into the happiest place in Maryland, these children experienced the happiest place on Earth.

"And so, our journey comes to an end. But yours continues on." ✨🏰

And... they all lived happily ever after. 🏰 We wrapped up our 28th day at imadi’s overnight summer camp with a spectacular Cinderella Ball 👑, an ingenious shadow-freezing with Peter Pan in Neverland 💫, a messy noodle-paint fight with Lady and the Tramp 🍝boating with Arielle in the Seven Seas Lagoon 🛥️, and a special showing from Isabela Madrigal (Mikki Wassner), a magical flower-growing character from Encanto. 💐

Ever seen Disney’s Flubber 🍵starring Robin Williams? We brought it to life by filling an entire dunk tank with bright green “flubber” for one unforgettable camp activity!

When a 13-year-old boy with cancer told us he was fascinated by space, we knew we had to make something truly "out of this world" happen.

Thanks to the incredible team at the University of Maryland Space Systems Laboratory, Eli and his brother received a private, behind-the-scenes VIP tour of one of the world's leading space research facilities - including access to the Neutral Buoyancy Research Facility, one of only5 neutral buoyancy tanks in the world and the only one located on a college campus on the planet.

Their mission began by operating the Space Grade robotic arm, testing a NASA-inspired exoskeletal suit, and tackling dexterity challenges using the same pressurized gloves astronauts train with for spacewalks.

Then came the highlight: stepping into mission control. Eli practiced directing divers wearing astronaut training suits in the massive neutral buoyancy tank, communicating with them exactly as mission controllers do while astronauts train for work in space.

This is what imadi is all about: turning a child's passion into an experience they'll never forget.
