I would recommend replacing the brake wire that is frayed. If you are familiar with working on bicycles or just handy in general, this should be an easy fix.
Otherwise, I would recommend taking it to a local bike shop (bike brakes have the same mechanism) or a local shop that can repair medical devices and walkers.
If you choose the DIY option, here is a great guide that outlines how to complete this repair for a walker: Walker Brake Cable Replacement.

Hi delsea,
Your walker uses the same brake mechanism as the hand brakes on bicycles, so replacing the brake cable is exactly the same procedure. You just need a replacement cable to start with; as @fa1conx has suggested, a bicycle shop should have what you need. If there aren't any shops nearby, it's likely a well-stocked sports shop or hardware store may carry the cable.
Here's a wikiHow article on bicycle brakes that should give you everything you need to know about your walker's brakes.
