Reader Submitted: Team Strange Journey's Avatar Challenge

Team Strange Journeys got some recent attention when a few of the members offered to don different avatars from what they usually wear if their team raised certain amounts. Three usually appeared as normal human, one a child, the fourth usually a tiny otter. As the team's Waffle Carnival came to a close, they offered this announcement:

Here is the picture!

And so, the team continues it's "strange" fun.

Go Relay!
