Alexandria - Apr. 15, 2011 - Members of the S, D and G OPP Detachment participated in the Inside Ride fundraiser at Glengarry District High School in Alexandria on Thursday.

The event, organized by school teacher Rebecca MacKay, consists of team members each riding a bicycle on a stationary platform for 10 minutes.

All proceeds of the event go to help with those stricken with childhood cancer. At the conclusion, the team with the most distance traveled (monitored by a mounted odometer) is declared the winner.

With over 35 teams of students and staff participating, the GDHS gym was filled to capacity. With high pace music playing and teams adorned in a variety of costumes, the intensity level was at a premium and a great time was had by all.

In the end, over $10,000 was raised for this worthy cause.

The S, D and G OPP team at the Inside Ride event consisted of (from left) Const. Eric Ranger, Const. Joel Doiron, Insp. Mike McDonell (S, D and G OPP Detachment Commander), Staff Sgt. Brendan MacDonald (S, D and G OPP Operations Manager), Const. Serge Duguay and Const. Norm Lamontagne (kneeling).
