Breast cancer survivor Olivia Newton-John, is scheduled to attend Summerlin Hospital's Mammos & Mimosas event for breast cancer awareness on Oct. 11, 2014.
Mammos & Mimosas, a free breast cancer awareness event, is planned from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Oct. 11 in the outpatient lobby at Summerlin Hospital Medical Center, 657 N. Town Center Drive.
In addition to information about breast cancer, mimosas, breakfast and a scavenger hunt are planned, along with raffles and giveaways and a tour of The Breast Care Center at Summerlin Hospital. The first 10 women will receive free mammogram screenings. Speakers are scheduled, and Olivia Newton-John is set to sign autographs and pose for photos from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m.
Activiste de renommée et engagée pleinement dans ce combat, c'est tout naturellement qu'Olivia Newton-John viendra soutenir le centre médical de l'hopital Summerlin à Las Vegas dans le cadre de son action pour la prévention et la détection précoce du cancer du sein.
Elle fera acte de sa présence le 11 octobre, en fin de matinée, pour signer quelques dédicaces et poser pour des photos !

- I Touch Myself
A breast cancer awareness campaign featuring the late Chrissy Amphlett’s “I Touch Myself” performed by an all-star Aussie cast has won a major U.S award.
The #itouchmyselfproject, commissioned by Cancer Council NSW and created by Soap Creative, has taken out the Gold Award for Public Service campaign at the Interactive Advertising Bureau's (IAB) 10th annual MIXX Awards in New York.
The campaign launched in April with a reworking of the iconic song by 10 of Australia’s best-known female artists, including breast cancer survivor Olivia Newton-John, ARIA female artist of the year winners Sarah Blasko and Megan Washington, Baby Animals singer Suze DeMarchi, and ARIA Hall of Fame inductee Little Pattie, who is Amphlett’s cousin.
Divinyls Return to Australian Sales Charts After Death of Chrissy Amphlett
“I Touch Myself” was originally a hit in the early '90s for alternative rock outfit the Divinyls, whose impressive lead singer Amphlett died from breast cancer at the age of 53 in April 2013. A mammogram and ultrasound failed to initially detect the disease. It was only when she self-examined that she returned to the doctor to insist on a biopsy, which in 2010 revealed the cancer.
Amphlett's husband and former Divinyls bandmate Charley Drayton accepted the award Tuesday, on the eve of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The IAB has also made a donation to Cancer Council NSW.

The U.S. accolade is the latest in a growing list of honors for the moving Australian campaign. It took out silver in the Branded Content and Entertainment category at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity in June, and won the prestigious platinum award at the fourth annual SABRE Awards in Beijing in September, a gala which recognizes the best agencies across the Asia-Pacific region.
Chrissy Amphlett ‘Lane’ Gets the Go Ahead
“I Touch Myself” became an international hit in 1991 when it reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, No. 10 in the U.K. and No. 1 in Australia, and had radio programmers around the world pondering whether the song was too naughty to spin (Amphlett wrote the work with Mark McEntee, Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly).

En avril 2014, dix stars australiennes rendaient hommage à la chanteuse Chrissy Amphlett, décédée le 21 avril 2013, des suites d’un cancer du sein incurable à cause de la sclérose en plaques dont elle était atteinte..
La chanson I Touch Myself, interprétée en 1990 par Chrissy parlait de la masturbation féminine. Elle a été reprise pour sensibiliser les femmes sur la nécessité de toucher sa poitrine afin de détecter la moindre anomalie.
On aura reconnu aux cotés d'Olivia Newton John, la jeune Megan Washington, Sarah McLeod, Katie Noonan, Sarah Blasko, Suze DeMarchi, Deborah Conway, Kate Ceberano, la cousine de Chrissy, Little Pattie (Patricia Amphlett de son vrai nom), également chanteuse et Connie Mitchell.
La campagne australienne ITouchMyself vient de recevoir une médaille d'or par l'association américaine Interactive Advertising Bureau lors de la dixième cérémonie des MIXX Awards.
