Bad Boy mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs
made a surprise visit to Chris Evert's charity tennis
tournament to meet a teenage cancer patient.
For Chalon Keen, 17, of Sunrise, FL, who has been fighting for two years a
cancer that creates tumors in her muscle cells,
Saturday's visit was a dream come true.
Chalon, a patient at the Chris Evert Children's Hospital at Broward
General Medical Center, met Combs through the
Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Ava Keen, Chalon's mother, said her daughter
cried the whole time. The meeting lifted the teen's
spirits as she and her family prepared to travel to the
Mayo Clinic in Minnesota to undergo tests for a possible
bone marrow transplant.
"I was just so choked up, she was so excited," Ava Keen said.
Evert's annual event has raised more than $13 million to fight drug abuse
and help neglected and abused children in south Florida.
