Olivia Newton-John says yoga and massage combined with conventional medicine can help make "the cancer journey" as positive as possible.
The Australian singer is in Melbourne for The Wellness Walk and Ivanhoe Street Party, a 4.2km walk to raise money for the city's Olivia Newton-John Cancer & Wellness Centre.
"I'm so excited to be back home in Melbourne for a third year to lead The Wellness Walk," Newton-John said in a statement before the walk.
"It's always a fun and inspiring day and I'm looking forward to seeing Melburnians support this cause that is very close to my heart!"
She added that everyone was, "sadly, touched by cancer".
"It is these additional programs such as yoga and massage combined with conventional medicine that really helped me through my own cancer journey," she said.
"I want this centre to continue to provide patients with the best treatment programs, but also understanding and compassion to ensure their journey is as positive as it can be."
Newton-John was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1992 on the same weekend her father died from liver cancer.
She underwent a partial mastectomy and breast reconstruction and has been cancer-free for more than two decades.
The Olivia Newton-John Cancer & Wellness Centre, located at the Austin Hospital in Heidelberg, Melbourne, opened in 2013.
It offers cancer clinical care, new technology and access to leading health professionals and researchers in the field, with wellness at the core of its philosophy.
