Newton-John died in August of 2022 at age 73, after a battle with cancer. She was first diagnosed at age 43, back in 1992. Ever since then, she became an advocate for breast cancer awareness and research — including putting a large amount of her own money into the Olivia Newton-John Foundation Fund, which is devoted to “sponsoring global research into plant medicine for cancer.”The Olivia Walk for Wellness will be the 10th annual event, and it will take place in Alexandra Gardens in Melbourne, Australia, with participants walking five kilometers to raise money for cancer research.“It’s an honor to continue the Walk for Wellness.

There isn’t a greater purpose in life than to give to others and when I went through my mental illness I focused on connecting with people who were going through similar pain….Even when she was at the hardest part of the battle she was still making it about others,” Lattanzi said, during her emotional interview on Tuesday.
