October 9th marks 2 months since the passing of Australian icon Olivia Newton-John. Newton-John died in August after a brave and public decades-long battle with cancer in which she was diagnosed three times in 1992, 2013 and, for a final time, in 2017.

On Sunday ONJ’s ‘Walk for Wellness’ took place in Melbourne.

Australian actress and Olivia Newton-John’s niece, Tottie Goldsmith, completed the walk in her honour. ‘It’s going to feel strange without Liv being here, but… I know she’ll be there. She will be beaming down on all of us. I want to do her proud,’ she told Onlymelbourne.com.au.
