Olivia Newton-John celebrates opening the final phase of her Cancer and Wellness Centre

Olivia Newton-John talks to Sunrise about her Cancer and Wellness Centre

Olivia Newton-John begins an early day full of press for the opening of the second and final phase of the Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre.

The Centre opened parts of it's facility a year ago and now the entire hospital is open along with all the Wellness programs to help cancer patients and their families during the cancer journey with all kinds of alternative therapies and programs like massage, acupuncture, art therapy, music therapy and more.

This past Sunday, Olivia led over 2,000 attendees on a fund raising "Wellness Walk" that raised over $140,000 and tonight in Melbourne is a "Grease Gala" to help raise more.

While the government does contribute at some level for the hospital component of the Centre, the Wellness programs are paid for by private donations.  So the effort is an ongoing one to keep those vital programs in place.

Here's Olivia on Sunrise this morning talking about the Centre:
