For the next year, Gianna will represent Manitoba and be an ambassador for the 120,000 children who visit the Children’s Hospital every year. Next week, Gianna will travel to Florida to meet other Champions from across North America. There she will celebrate her achievements, and meet with international media, to help showcase what an amazing hospital and research institute we have here in Manitoba.

Gianna is the first Filipino Champion Child in the history of the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Manitoba and proud of her culture. Click here to read more of  Gianna’s story.

The Champions program, run by the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Manitoba, honours remarkable children who have triumphed despite severe medical challenges. The Champions program is sponsored by Walmart Canada, and Air Canada.
