POLICE have congratulated one of their PCSOs who ran a full marathon from her home for a hospice.

PCSO Julie Buckley, who patrols Brentwood and Epping, raised £3,500 for St Francis Hospice, who provides care and support to individuals with a life-limiting illness, as well as their carers and family members.

PCSO Buckley ran the full 26.2 miles yesterday after the main event was cancelled.
