I've completed my leg of the Shiplake Giving Day Sportathon - Strive for 65! Head out for a run, walk or cycle, join an exercise class or training session - any sport counts. Just 30 minutes of sport will help us reach 65,000 minutes of sport by the end of Giving Day. You can also head down to the College to get involved in sport throughout the day.
