Diddy Visits Sick Teen at Tennis Tournament

by: Alyssa Rashbaum

right Chalon Keen, a 17-year-old cancer patient at the Chris Evert Children's Hospital, got her wish on Saturday [December 3], via the Make-A-Wish Foundation, when Diddy visited her at the hospital's annual event. Keen has been fighting cancer for two years and will soon travel to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota to undergo tests for a possible bone marrow transplant, according to The Associated Press.

"I was just so choked up, she was so excited," Ava Keen, Chalon's mother, told the AP, adding that her daughter cried for the duration of Diddy's visit. The event, meanwhile, has raised more than $13 million, all of which goes to fighting drug abuse and aiding neglected and abused children in south Florida.
