Over 300 students, staff and community members participated in the second annual “Ride of the Chief’s” Bike-A-Thon
超过300名学生、教职员工和社区成员参加了第二届“骑行首长之行”自行车马拉松活动。
超过300名学生、教职员工和社区成员参加了由约翰·G·迪肯贝克高中主办的第二届“首长之旅”（ROTC2K17）。
这次持续24小时的“骑行马拉松”活动从4月21日上午8点开始，到4月22日上午8点结束。在整个24小时里，学校举办了许多活动，包括娱乐节目、瑜伽课、游戏、食品摊位和Much Music视频舞蹈。
这300名参与者组成了32个团队，每个团队大约有十人，成员轮流骑行半小时至一小时。然而，有一组由JGDHS的一位教师组成，他们连续骑行了24小时。他们的团队名字叫做单人革命。
特别感谢伊丽莎白女王中学捐赠旋转车给ROTC2K17，使今年能够有更多团队参与。
活动的导师Donna Fraser表示，看到学生们共同参与筹款活动让人感动。“我们都为他们感到自豪，对未来充满希望，”她说。“你看到这些非常积极的年轻人一起为社区建设、让世界变得更好而努力，这真是太棒了。”
这次活动取得了巨大成功，筹集了27,500美元的资金，超过了他们的目标25,000美元，用于阿尔伯塔儿童医院基金会。2016年的首长之旅筹集了15,000美元，所以今年筹集的金额令人印象深刻。

Over 300 students, staff and community members participated in the second annual “Ride of the Chief’s” (ROTC2K17) hosted by John G. Diefenbaker High School.
The 24 hour Bike-A-Thon began at 8 a.m. on Apr. 21 and ended at 8 a.m. on Apr. 22. Over the 24 hours, while the spinning was taking place, the school hosted numerous activities including entertainment, yoga classes, games, food vendors and a Much Music Video dance.
The 300 participants made up 32 teams of approximately ten people per team with members taking shifts of half an hour to one hour on the bikes. However, one group had a JGDHS teacher who rode for 24 hours straight. His team name was the One Man Revolution.
Special thanks goes out to Queen Elizabeth High School for donating your spin bikes to ROTC2K17 so that more teams could be involved this year.
Donna Fraser, JGDHS teacher advisor for the event, said seeing the students participate in the fundraiser together is touching. "We're all just really proud and hopeful for the future," she said. "You see these really positive young people doing something to build community and make the world a better place, which is just fantastic."
The event was a huge success raising $27,500, surpassing their goal of $25,000, for the Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation. The 2016 Ride of the Chiefs raised $15,000 so the amount raised this year was impressive.
