My Olivia Newton-John 2025 Wellness Walk

Hi Everyone,

I’ve walked all my life with the woman in the photo below, my mother, taken many many years ago now.

Mum and me somewhere in the 1980s

Following a cancer diagnosis, Mum left us this year on the same date as Olivia (9 August in Australia), only 3 years later. That has made this year’s walk feel very different.

Today is the 26 September, the anniversary of ONJ’s birthday and the number of the room in which my mum left us. The numbers 9 and 26 keep coming up for me, so I’m sharing them here for anyone reading, perhaps they will have meaning for you too.

I’m not sure how much money we’ll raise in 2025, but I want to whole-heartedly thank my many beautiful friends who have already donated as part of farewelling my mother in August this year.

Since my first walk in 2019, and together with my generous supporters over the years, we’ve raised almost $18,000 for cancer wellness programs — thank you so much! My 2025 fundraising is currently at $1,685, which means we’re sure to pass the $20,000 mark — how much higher can we go this year? $26,000? Austin Health

Thank you in advance for your support of my 2025 walk. I have again created a playlist for this year’s walk on TIDAL which I’ll share in upcoming blogs.

Love & light,
