SLIMMERS are putting their best feet forward to raise cash for a cancer charity and helping to shed the pounds.

Slimming World has a £500,000 campaign to raise cash for Marie Curie Cancer this year and the fund-raisers reached Blackburn this weekend to help with their goal.

Margaret Miles Bramwell, managing director of Slimming World, is walking from John O'Groats to Lands End to help with the funds.

This weekend she reached Witton Park, Blackburn where local fund-raisers were limbering up.
