The late Olivia Newton-John would be very proud of her only daughter, Chloe Lattanzi. Chloe is continuing the work her mother started for the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness & Research Centre. Olivia was well known for advocating for cancer research and treatments as she dealt with cancer herself.
Chloe recently organized Olivia’s Walk for Wellness, a 5K that raised money for her mother’s foundation. Chloe wiped away tears as she shared, “It’s so beautiful to see how many Australians have come out for my mom. I’m so moved.”

She continued, “This was her heart. This is what she lived for. She saw the benefits of holistic treatments and acupuncture and music therapy, the benefits for her. So, she wanted people to have access to all of those things, and that’s what we’re really raising money for. The wellness center is and has been the most important thing to her. I’m sorry. I’m a bit shaky. I apologize, Richard.”

Chloe, along with Olivia’s husband John Easterling, will continue to oversee the foundation. John recently donated $300,000 to the center on her behalf and will match up to $100,000 for each of the first three donations of $100,000 or more.
Chloe added, “All she wanted to do was good in the world, you know? She didn’t care about the fame or anything like that. Her mission was helping people and animals.”
