For 70 years, Manning Family Children’s has been running towards the problems that impact our kids as Louisiana’s only, freestanding comprehensive children’s hospital - delivering expert pediatric care for every child, every time, regardless of ability to pay.

This summer, the hospital’s CEO, Lou Fragoso, is running an ultramarathon - 100 miles through the Rocky Mountains – with each mile dedicated to a child who received care at Children’s. Much like an ultramarathon, the often long, challenging healthcare journey each patient goes on is one of perseverance, teamwork, and grit. 100 miles. 100 kids. 1 mission. brings awareness to these stories and celebrates the bravery and hope of every child, while supporting the mission of Manning Family Children’s.

The Manning Family Children's Project Management Team has joined the movement and committed to raise $1,000 as part of the 100 miles. 100 kids. 1 mission. campaign. We are fundraising for Mile 72 - which honors Ly Lynn Bohne's strength, her journey, and the incredible care she received at Manning Family Children's. We hope you will consider supporting Manning Family Children's and kids like Ly Lynn by donating!
