Another successful year for the Hope for Riley Scavenger Hunt!
If you haven't read my post from last year, Hope for Riley is a benefit scavenger hunt put on by the parents of Riley Traigle. All of the proceeds of the event are used to assist with the expenses for Riley's participation in a three year clinical study that may lead to treatments and a cure for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
During the hunt, each team collects objects and photos (according to a list provided) as well as complete challenges for the duration of the day.
My team and I (The Duchenne Destroyers AKA The Double Ds) have participated every year since it started in 2012.
This year, we came in 3rd place and received the spirit award for the 3rd year in a row. (no surprise there)
We did something a little different for our shirts this year. Normally, we take pictures from the previous year, make some type of layout for them, and get customized shirts with our design.
This year, we had an even better idea! A way to make our shirts a little more special!
Being that one of our teammates (Suzanne) is Riley's teacher, she decided to ask him for a favor. She asked Riley to draw us a picture. (she also told him not to tell his mom and dad what the picture was for) He returned to school a few days later with the picture. Riley is quite the little artist. (Sue gave him an A of course)
We made a shirt for each of us as well as one for each member of Riley's family. They loved them! As did we.
What a fun time as usual! All for an amazing cause! Can't wait for next year!
