A CHARITY has launched a new walking group for Barnsley people who have had a breast cancer diagnosis.

Breast Cancer Care's 'Best Foot Forward Health Walks' are for people of all abilities and fitness levels. They're aimed at those who want to get more active and feel better after breast cancer treatment.

The first walk is today at 2.15pm at Worsbrough Mill Country Park.

Barnsley volunteer walk leader Pat Martin said: "After I was diagnosed with breast cancer in March 2010, keeping active really helped me cope with my treatment."
