Jay Crossley

Jay, aged 25, is a swimming pool engineer based in Oxfordshire.

He said: “I’m running the London Marathon 2025 to support PACT because I truly believe in the work they do. Their focus on adoption services and community projects is incredible, and I wanted to be part of that mission.”

Jay is no novice when it comes to challenge events, training hard to run in more than one marathon this year! He said: “It will be my first time taking on a challenge of this scale for charity, though, and I’m excited for what’s to come!”

When asked what he is most looking forward to, Jay said: “I’m most excited about the atmosphere and the energy of running in one of the most iconic marathons in the world. The crowds, the support, and being part of something so huge is a feeling I can’t wait to experience. Plus, I’m excited to help raise money for PACT and support the amazing work they do.“
