Newton-John returns for fundraising campaign

Olivia Newton-John has launched a national fundraising campaign in a bid to raise $1 million for the ONJ Centre at the Austin Hospital. The ‘We Go Together’ campaign is calling for people to share messages on social media of strength and courage to help those on the journey to win over cancer, while donating to the Centre and nominating others to do the same.

Following the news earlier this year of her recent cancer relapse, Olivia is more determined than ever to increase awareness of the work The Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness & Research Centre (ONJ Centre) in Melbourne provides for patients with cancer.

The funds raised through the ‘We Go Together – Donate and Nominate to Win Over Cancer’ campaign will enable the Centre to continue to provide patients with access to leading medical treatment and breakthrough research, complemented by wellness programs to help patients on their journey through treatment and recovery, says Olivia Newton-John.

“Since the news of my recent cancer relapse, I’ve taken the time to reflect on the ONJ Centre and all the wonderful work that is undertaken for Cancer Research and Wellness & Supportive Care programs.

“The ONJ Centre makes a real difference to the lives of the people and communities it serves and that’s why we’re setting the bar high this year – we need to raise $1 million for the Centre so it can continue critical research, pioneer trials and deliver holistic care to patients and their families.”

Olivia will return home to Melbourne next month to attend her renowned annual ‘ONJ Gala’ on Friday 8th September, at Crown Palladium (Melbourne) where she will be joined by Australian legends – and friends, John Farnham and Daryl Braithwaite with performances also by Mark Vincent and Dami Im. Bindi, Terri and Robert Irwin will also be in attendance.

Following the ‘ONJ Gala’ celebrations, Olivia will once again lead ‘The Wellness Walk’ on Sunday 17th September, and will be joined by event ambassador, Peter Hitchener.

The ‘Wellness Walk and Research Run’ will be held at the grounds of La Trobe University’s Bundoora Campus. Participants can choose whether to walk or run, while still raising funds for the ONJ Centre as a whole. Walkers and runners will be able to celebrate their achievements and enjoy an abundance of entertainment from an array of performers, as well as participate in a variety of sporting and children’s activities.

Both events will celebrate the incredible work of the ONJ Centre, highlighting the impact on the lives of patients and families over the past few years, while also raising vital funds to sustain the revolutionary Wellness and Supportive Care Programs, and expand its research capacity to help people live better with cancer.

“The prayers and well wishes I’ve received over the past few months have truly helped me and continue to life my spirits. I’m feeling great and looking forward to returning to Melbourne for these two very special fundraisers for the ONJ Centre – they are very close to my heart. We have some incredible talent and friends of mine lined up to perform at the Gala – it will be a spectacular evening.

“With more than 200 clinical trials in progress, the ONJ Centre provides access for patients to new, breakthrough therapies, so it’s crucial that we raise as much money as we can through both events and our We Go Together campaign. If ‘We Go Together’, we can win over cancer and raise $1 million for the ONJ Centre this year,” added Olivia Newton-John.

Makes sense - Australia's health system is far better than USA's. I notice a lot of Aussies returning as they age.

It looks lke Olivia has spent a fortune on her face panel beating.

You would not think she is 96

Just Micha folks being his normal rude self ..

Listen you  low life creep, someday you will become unstuck.

CANCER,    in any form,   or who it affects,   is certainly no laughing matter,    and is not the place for jokes or nastiness,       i have 3 friends who have been struck down  with this awful disease,    belive me,    two who have had double mastectomies,    are not smililg,      it is a terrible shame the OLIVIA,N,,JOHN  has been struck down again,,,    and i wish her all the best for the future,    

What a low life Little Micha is 

You are a real creep Brocky, and everyone whether they  admit it or not know that.

You're the creep Micha 

posting personal details of Brocky and his family

you should be locked up 

It's good to expose creepy people like you raphael and besides, you put up the information yourself, which is still available to all.

Micha you went on the nett and took my daughters photo to identify me . You then published my personal details and r then said we know where you live . 

Why a low life scum is here under multi personalities Is a stain on the site ..

Davey (Mr Gravey), I was going to say good to see  you, but I am not impressed with your comment

about Olivia Newton John.

 

Davey - the fat man on the horse can't be still alive 

his horse died of spinal injuries and Davey followed soon after due to multiple complications associated with obesity

what are you on about Micha 

are you talking to your relatives again BEN,     dont you see enough of them at home,    please leave decent threads alone,      have a bit of common decency,  

Yes cats

we all have friends and family who have suffered from cancer 

I wish the family would at least leave some threads alone 

 Micha you are The one who made the disgusting comments about Olivia as you did my daughter earlier today as you did wish Cats to be tortured . You obviously have a problem with women . 

this is one thread that should be left alone,    and let be for what it is,        plenty of threads to vent your grieviences on,          or set up a thread just for bickering,     then you could all go for your lives,   and say what you want,            i should not have put anything up to ben,     and i apologise for that,       even though it was the truth,  

Ben is Micha Cats no ifs no buts he is a disgusting creep who made the comments about Olivia so the comments belong on here .

 

Micha is in all likelihood the racist misogynist homophobe that was Davey as well 

which davey are you talking about RAPH,    ?    THERE USED TO BE A   DAVEY on here but he left long ago,    i havent seen another,  

yes,   your right BROCKY,    belongs here,     and the disgusting revalations about your daughter and yourself should not have happened,     that is unforgivable,      we are here on our avatar name,    and no one elses buisness who we are,  

After today's comments by Micha about Olivia and my daughter no doubt at all .. 

I think he is a very lonely man ..

i think your right brocky,    why else would you have so many avatars and names?     living in make believe land,   with pretend friends,     it is sad really,   

I agree Mrs Cats.

Peter is out of his tree.

I have a right to be able to state my point of view on any subject and so do you.

I am a self funded retired Chef / Photographer / Businessman.

Anything else you want to know about me?

 

once again a fine thread is messed up by the three trolls Brocky, Raphael and Catsahoy. 

why does the moderator permit these trolls to write these scamming posts, why????

Crikey the little creep is up early can't be day break in Perth . How o you know my name little creep only Micha calls me Peter . 

Why you have not been banned for you continual attack on women is unbrliesble , 

on your supposed first day you comment on ,y 15 year old daughters bum and the post was removed you are a disgrace 

title Micha . We know you will keep going and keep inventing avatars it's your kick as it always has been your previous persona of Davey and multi was equally disgusting . 

your clearly off your flaming head

who the hell is Davey? 

funny you talk of people with many avatars brocky/raphael/peter/rick

further I do not live in perth, you screwed up troll

I'd just ignore the troll Brisvegas. Anyone with one brain cell can see what the moron is up to.


Yes..I agree Brisvegas..this person "Brocky" or whatever he choses to call himself from his many aliases.. clearly needs help..

His constant harassment of members is outrageous..

Anyone who's been on this forum for a while.. would recognise "Davey"  from his words..and his famous avatar..so why is "Brocky" pretending he does not know Davey? Why is he seeking to malign another member?

I can't remember whether Davey wore a busby or a helmet but his avatar was similar to this one...

There you have it Gravey is well known to the public! Even I have done my research on the lad!

Any chance of getting some Panacalty with that Gravey, Davey??

 

I remember Davey (Gravey) and I remember Pete (Brocky). Both banned around the same time for rude comments  about people.

Same as Gravey has done about Olivia Newton John.

why are you and the family sh%t stirring again

just leave posters be

why do you have to attack, ridicule,  threaten and worse make comments anbout a posters private affairs and family.

youre a disgrace - the 3 of you 

Meanwhile, Olivia Newton-John aged 68, is facing breast cancer for the second time. Best wishes Olivia for your own recovery and your fund-raising efforts for ongoing cancer research and treatment initiatives at the ONJ Centre.

Olivia is a British citizen so should she get her treatment on medicare?

I think she can afford to pay for it.

What are you ranting on about there Ronald....nice clogs though.

 

Will say this only once Brocky, Micha had nothing to do with revealing anything about you. You did it all by yourself and I only put the finishing touches on it.

So leave Micha out of your sick game.
