Join the Movement! Support Lou’s Mission!
Individuals and businesses that join the 100 miles. 100 kids. 1 mission. movement are helping to celebrate each patient’s inspiring story while supporting the expert care that Manning Family Children’s provides – for every patient, every time, and regardless of ability to pay.
With less than a month of training to go as Lou approaches his August 16 100 mile ultramarathon in Leadville, there are still many opportunities to join the movement. Help raise funds in support of the vital mission of Manning Family Children’s, and support this special campaign that honors the courageous and resilient patients who Lou is running in honor of.

Become a Pacer!
Pacers play a critical role in helping an ultramarathoner achieve their goal by providing a combination of physical, mental, and logistical support, especially during challenging or lonely stretches.
Support Lou as a pacer by making a one-time contribution – every dollar makes an impact, and will help support Lou’s cause. Donate as a pacer by choosing your level - $10, $25, $50, or $75!
Join Lou’s Krewe!
Lou’s Krewe is responsible for the essential, behind-the-scenes success, offering support and aid at pre-defined stops. The crew members are selected by the runner because he or she trusts their decision making skills and experience. It’s a big job, but an important and honorary one. Support Lou by making a one-time Krewe level donation of $100, $250, $500 – or choose your amount!
