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.

I have joined the movement and committed to raise $1,000 as part of the 100 miles. 100 kids. 1 mission. campaign for Manning Family Children’s.

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 Human Resources, Employee Health, and Administrative Services team is thrilled to announce our participation in the impactful 100 Miles. 100 Kids. 1 Mission. campaign dedicated to the well-being of children in our community.

With a heartfelt goal of raising $1,000, we are proud to focus our efforts on Mile 66, a tribute to Knox's remarkable strength and resilience, as well as the outstanding care Knox received at Manning Family Children's.

We warmly invite you to stand alongside us in our mission to support Knox as well as the extraordinary patients and families of Manning Family Children's.

Your generous donation, regardless of its size, will play a vital role in making a meaningful difference in the lives of children and their families. Together, let's honor Knox's journey and contribute to a brighter, healthier future for all.

We appreciate your support!
