THOUSANDS JOIN OLIVIA’S WELLNESS WALK FOR CANCER

Legendary Aussie entertainer Olivia Newton-John (68) and her husband John Easterling (64) looked a picture of happiness as they walked together in the annual Olivia Newton-John Wellness Walk and Research Run, to raise money for the Grease star’s research centre in Melbourne.

Despite her radiant appearance, Olivia revealed in May that her breast cancer had returned and metastasised to the sacrum, a bone near the base of the spine.

A crowd of supporters joined the Physical singer, including Aussie Opposition Leader Bill Shorten, who pledged $20 million should the Australian Labor Party win the next election. Olivia was all smiles at the event, but was overcome with emotion when she was presented with a cheque for $250,000 from generous donors.

Olivia is also in favour of medicinal marijuana. “It’s a healing plant with wonderful properties,” she says. She wants Australia to follow California’s lead in legalising medicinal use of the drug.

Olivia’s clearly Hopelessly Devoted to the crowds who turned out to support her cause. Cheque this out: Generous donors presented Olivia’s fund wit h $250,000.

Husband John was the one Olivia wanted as they held hands along the street. Tell me why medicinal marijuana isn’t legalised, pleads Olivia.
