Mercado said cancer does not discriminate, and can affect everyone.
“But we can fight cancer through a healthy lifestyle while reminding patients and survivors that they are not alone in their battle,” she said. “We listen, we care, and we serve.”
As for the walkathon, Mercado said the Lions are encouraging businesses and community members to sponsor the event.
