Olivia Newton-John’s family has urged Australians to back the late singer’s annual charity walk for cancer as they mark a year since her death.

Newton-John’s daughter Chloe Lattanzi would be in Australia for Olivia’s Walk of Wellness in October, the Grease star’s niece Tottie Goldsmith said on Tuesday.

She told Sunrise the first anniversary of Newton-John’s death was “mind-boggling”.

“I’ve been getting text messages from family, friends, family in America and we are all just kind of grappling with it still. It’s sort of like she is here and then she is not,” the former Chantoozies singer said.

Sponsorships and donations from the walk fund evidencebased wellness therapies at the ONJ Centre to help ease side effects of cancer treatment and support people with cancer emotionally, spiritually and physically.

Goldsmith said the walk was Newton-John’s “legacy, this was what was really, deeply important to her”.

Newton-John died at 73 after a battle with breast cancer. Olivia’s Walk For Wellness, will be held at Melbourne’s Alexandra Gardens on October 8.
