According to the Mayo Clinic, Chiari malformation (kee-AH-ree mal-for-MAY-shun) is a condition in which tissue from the lower part of the brain, called the cerebellum, goes into the spinal canal. It happens when the skull is shaped in a way that is not typical or when the skull is smaller than usual. Because of that, the skull presses on the brain and forces brain tissue down into the spinal canal.

If that sounds frightening to you as an adult, think of what a child thinks and how they may or not comprehend that they have Chiari malformation. Or they will have a portion of their skull removed to help treat Chiari which has no known cure. 

Chiari's Little Warriors was formed to help ease the fear and increase the awareness of a condition that affects one out of every one thousand people. 

Chiari's Little Warriors is a not-for-profit south Florida organization created by a little warrior battling to stay ahead of Chiari. In this special episode of The Florida Business Forum Tiffany Salas sat with host Sam Yates to tell her story, that of Chiari's Little Warriors founder Sydney Salas, and of the upcoming 4th Annual Walk to raise funds and awareness about Chiari Malformation. 

Join The Florida Business Forum Podcast Host Sam Yates in the 4th Annual Walk For Chiari on September 19, 2026 at the Pompano Beach Airpark from 09:00 - 1:00 pm to support this worthwhile cause
