"I'm walking for a purpose..."

Those were the words written on the Instagram post of Ultimate Star Jennylyn Mercado. 

The Kapuso star is pertaining to the upcoming Avon event dubbed #130MillionSteps happening on October 9, 6:30 A.M. at Liwasang Ulalim, CCP Complex.

Jennylyn is one of Avon Philippines' Kiss Goodbye to Breast Cancer 2016 ambassadors. She is joined by fellow Kapuso artist Rocco Nacino.

This year, the beauty company amplifies its commitment to the cause by inviting men and women to take part in a grand, never-before-done challenge.

You may also pledge your steps by using the free Avon 130 Million Steps Pedomoter. The mobile application is available for free on the Google Play Store and App Store. Just sign up, set your step goal for the day, and start walking. Carry your phone close to your body –in a pocket, arm band, or shoulder bag—and your steps will be tracked, even without an internet connection! 

The Avon Pedometer App also features bank account details for donations that will go directly to the Philippine Cancer Society, Inc., and toward the Avon-PGH Breast Care Center.
