Spirit Champs
Our first Idol location
Saturday, 6 women came together once again for the 3rd Annual Hope for Riley Scavenger Hunt as The Duchenne Destroyers AKA The Double D's. The H4R Scavenger Hunt is a fund raiser a local family has organized to help raise awareness, as well as aid in their son, Riley's, treatments. Riley was diagnosed with a disease called Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) in 2008.
Five of my friends and I have participated in the event for the last three years, and every year we have a BLAST.
At the start of the hunt, each team is given a list of items to find and photos to take. The items on the list are completely random, ranging anywhere from a purple key, to a school report card from 1985. Each team can also complete the "Idol Challenge." Along with the list at the beginning of the hunt, we received an Idol Clue, which is a riddle leading you to a location. At each location we were given either a challenge or puzzle to solve in order to get the next Idol Clue. At the 7th location we received "The Idol" which is worth points as well as the items and the photos.
At the end of the hunt, each team's points are tallied and the winner receives a cash prize.
The second year, a new award was added, The Spirit Award. This award goes to the team that shows the most "Team Spirit" throughout the hunt. That team just so happens to be the Double D's for both years now! We made cardboard D's, we bought megaphones, face tattoos, and we cheered as loudly as we possibly could. We are basically unbeatable. :)
We may not win 1st prize, but we sure have a lot of fun spreading awareness and helping a 12 year old boy with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
XOXO The Double D's
