**Singer Olivia Newton-John is being joined by a team of entertainment stars as 
she walks along the Great Wall of China to raise funds for the Olivia Newton-John
Cancer Centre in Australia.**

She is being joined on the 21-day 228-kilometre event, which begins on 7 April, 
by starts including Sir Cliff Richard, Joan Rivers, Dannii Minogue, and Toyah Willcox,
together with people who have survived cancer.

Newton-John’s personal experience with breast cancer 15 years ago led her to partner
with the Austin Hospital in 2003, in her former hometown Melbourne, to create a 
comprehensive cancer and wellness centre for the treatment, care and research of
all types of cancer.
