"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.
