A TEAM of 10 women has walked hundreds of miles to raise much-needed money to help find a cure for breast cancer.

Jacky Robinson, 54, from Chislehurst, and Wendy Becker, 50, from Petts Wood, joined with eight other women on the Weekend to Breakthrough Breast Cancer.

None of them had met each other before they walked more than 300 miles together in six months of training.

They then raised more than £30,000 on the 60km walk through central London.

Walker Alison Farrell, 42, from Sidcup, said: "We were cheered all the way by passing motorists and pedestrians, as well as the support vehicles which were covered in ribbons and bras."
