AN Alcester woman is walking her way to fitness as she trains for a charity marathon in aid of Breast Cancer Care.

Julie Styles, of Orchard Drive, is taking part in the Ribbon Walk from Lechlade to Blenheim Palace on June 25, and is expecting to do the 26-mile trek in about 10 hours.

She has had to pledge to raise £250 for the charity and says she is already half way there with donations from family and friends.

If anyone would like to sponsor Julie they can contact her on 07813 120796 or call in at Linda Rose lingerie shop in Market Way, Alcester, where there are sponsor forms.
