“I’m winning over it well and that’s how I see it,” Newton-John told reporters about her breast cancer diagnosis. “I don’t think about it a lot, to be honest. Denial is a really good thing and I’m getting stronger and better all the time! I’m doing well!”Actor Hugh Sheridan hosted G’Day USA, and one of the first things he did was call for a moment of silence for the firefighters who died fighting the wildfires. Guests of the event could directly donate to the charities featured or take part in the silent auction.

John Travolta, who was Newton-John’s costar in Grease, also attended the charity event.“Olivia is a survivor and she’s smart and she’s got a lot of life in her,” he told reporters. “And I think she looks at it from the glass half full always, and that’s her beautiful, natural approach towards life, and I think we all need to do that.”

Newton-John, Travolta, and Newton-John’s niece, Tottie Goldsmith, took the stage together to speak about how much Australia means to them.“I would like to thank Australians for the amazing life they’ve given me. If you think back to where I started with Saturday Night Fever, The Bee Gees, then Olivia in Grease. You’ve given me an incredible, beautiful life.” Travolta said. “The people of Australia have this incredible ability to take responsibility for each other … it really deeply moves me.”
