Miss Teen Mexico is going to be leading a 5K-walk-a-thon to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Cranford. Guadalupe Hernandez (Miss Teen Mexico 2010-2011) says that she hopes to see many families from Bridgeton and neighboring communities join her in the walk-a-thon. She also said that she has always been passionate about helping the suffering children living with cancer since she was little.
Her mother lost a younger brother to cancer and when Guadalupe was 12, she was moved to grow her hair out. She let it grow out very long and then cut off 14 inches to help children with cancer. Lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphatic system and approximately 74,000 people will be diagnosed with this this year in the U.S. She said her goal is to hopefully make this an annual even and raise $2,000.
