Emeritus Fellow Sir Muir Gray celebrates staff step-a-thon success with book giveaway
Green Templeton College staff were thrilled to smash their recent step-a-thon target for Giving Day 2021.
Staff initially committed to walking 2,021,000 steps between Wednesday 19 May and Wednesday 2 June to raise funds for college, but through a tremendous group effort they more than doubled that figure, clocking up an incredible 4,184,918 steps instead!

Emeritus Fellow Sir Muir Gray celebrated the achievement by gifting signed copies of his book, Dr Gray’s Walking Cure, to all members of staff who took part. The book details how walking a little more each day can help you look better, feel better, and reduces the risks and effects of disease.
Sir Muir Gray is currently working on a second edition of the book.
Congratulations to all staff who took part!

Maddie Bennett from Bartholomew School in Eynsham spent last week with the communications team at college and found some friendly faces too!
Last week, the college welcomed guests for a special afternoon marking the launch of the Pirie Society.
The event celebrated the college’s new legacy society and recognised those who are considering, or have chosen, to leave a gift in their will to the college.
Their generosity will help shape the future of the college for generations to come.
