Its fund- raising time over in Sport and we are taking on one of our most ambitious team challenges yet....It is not only the olympic battles that will commence this Friday it is the start of the giant paperclip challenge!  5 teams from Sport will be playing the game of "bigger and better" and will begin a marathon 3 month journey to swap and trade up a giant paperclip.  Inspired by the story of Kyle Macdonald who swapped a giant red paperclip, through a series of trades for a house (over a 12 month period) we are all quite excited to see where our swapping journey will take us.   At the end of the challenge we will be selling our final swap to raise money for "Right to Play"  a charity which uses sport to improve the lives of disadvantaged children, and raises funds to improve health.

If you'd like to come and join us and enter a team (or even have a go as an individiual)  we have some giant (rather lovely)paperclips here ready and waiting (contact Sam on on s.n.fuller@sussex.ac.uk) and we'll all be blogging about our trades over the next few weeks... and looking for some trade ups...rumour has it Splash are also sponsoring a prize for the best blog (and we know how much you love blogging for commit to get fit)...come and join us for some fun and friendly rivalry
