Well done to Pickfords’ Cardiff Branch Manager, Hannah Eccleston, who took part in the 2016 IAAF/Cardiff University World Half Marathon Championship held on Saturday, 26 March. Hannah completed the run in 2 hours 28 minutes and in the process raised over £500 for Pickfords’ partner charity, the NSPCC.
Hannah battled hail, high winds and near-horizontal rain for the 13.1 mile race, although this didn’t stop the supportive crowds coming out to cheer on the runners. Hannah said: “It was an amazing event and I managed to raise £503 for the NSPCC which made my soaking wet state at the end feel worthwhile. A big thank you to everyone who sponsored me.”
