Olivia Newton-John supports the fight against breast cancer in the Inland Empire

Some star power in Temecula Sunday morning!

Olivia Newton-John joined about 10,000 participants in the 16th Annual Inland Empire Susan G. Komen Race For the Cure at the Promenade Mall in Temecula. The star is not only a breast cancer survivor herself but a prominent advocate for research to find a cure.

“This is wonderful way to celebrate survivorship and communicate with each other. I’m a 22 year thriver and I’m excited to be a part of this,” Newton-John said.

The singer and actress starred in the movie “Grease” and is a four-time Grammy winner with hits including “I Honestly Love You” and “Physical.” She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1992. She had a partial mastectomy and breast reconstruction and has been cancer-free since.

“I’m here. I’m grateful 22 years later there is hope and it’s important to get involved with other women for support and to do things for yourself. Do one thing for yourself that makes you feel good,” she said.

Newton-John was in town with her husband and daughter and her grand-dog, Jelly.
