TeleOnce: The Power of the People
A live program on the TeleOnce news channel, "El Poder del Pueblo," tells the story of Karina von Gundlach and how her cancer diagnosis changes the beauty queen's life.
During the program, Karina narrated her experiences fighting against a health diagnosis that changed her life in the blink of an eye. She went from one day looking in the mirror in a gala dress, with long hair, a ribbon on her chest fighting for a physical crown, to how the next day she looked in the mirror in hospital clothing, with a med-port in her chest, without hair connected to a machine receiving chemotherapy fighting for her crown of life.
