Dogs and their families are invited to a special woodland walk at Stormont to help raise funds for one of Northern Ireland's best known cancer charities.
Cancer Focus NI has worked locally for the last 53 years to help reduce the impact of cancer on people’s lives.
They provide care and support services for cancer patients and their families; offer a range of cancer prevention programmes to help people lessen their risk of getting cancer; fund scientific research into the causes and treatment of the disease and campaign for better health policy to protect our community and its future.

And almost all of this work is funded through donations and fundraising so every penny raised counts and today the charity has spring in mind with a announcement of a fundraising walk at Stormont in April.
A spokesperson for the charity, said: "Dogs really are our best friends and our loyal companions, so why not register to enjoy a bright, breezy springtime walk around Stormont this April with your best friend and help us raise essential funds to enable us to continue supporting local cancer patients and the families across Northern Ireland.
"Our family-friendly event is taking place on Sunday, April 2. Registration costs just £10 per dog and pets and their owners can choose a walking route that best suits them. There will be a choice of a short 2km or long 4km walk so suitable for dogs and owners of all ages, shapes and sizes.
"Families go free and we will have refreshments from food vendors, the incredible PSNI Dog Unit doing a meet and greet, doggy stalls, bouncy castle, dog agility, face painting and the chance to win our amazing raffle prizes so we think this is an event not to be missed.
