Anne Allen and Kathryn Tyler, of Clockhouse Podiatry, Blackhorse Way, Horsham, decided to form the Hobblers this year to participate in annual charity walk to raise funds for breast cancer research.

Their patients come to the clinic with unrelated issues and often talk about matters that have had a devastating effect on their health or of someone close to them.

Along with Kathryn's sister Lauren Berry (another member of the Horsham Hobblers and a palliative care specialist nurse) they have been touched by their patients' experiences and courage with breast cancer.

Kara Sayers-Wood and Cathy Devlin joined the group when they heard of the plans to raise money for this worthy cause through taking part in a marathon walk around London.

Anyone who would like to make a contribution can still visit the clinic at 5A Blackhorse Way, Horsham, or sponsor online at www.justgiving.com/horshamhobblers.
