Although it hasn’t swept the nation like the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, the #FAVSChallenge is still slowly making its way through the Spokane area.

On Aug. 21 SpokaneFAVS challenged its readers to a Random Act of Kindness Challenge, with the hope of inspiring a wave of goodwill across Spokane, the Inland Northwest and beyond. Those who were challenged had one week to document themselves performing a random act of kindness, and if they failed, were asked to donate $25 to SpokaneFAVS. (Ahem, several of you need to pay up!).

We reported on the first people to complete the challenge here.

Today we want to update you on two more challenge completions.

Jan Shannon is helping care for her new grandson who was born a month premature and decided to go the extra mile by doing a day’s worth of yard work at her son’s house. She sent SpokaneFAVS a photo of her new grandson, Simon.

The Rev. Martin Elfert was challenged by Bishop James Waggoner of the Episcopal Diocese of Spokane, and chose to to go to the hospital and pray for a patient.

Will you accept the #FAVSChallenge? (Be sure to use the hashtag and post your photos to social media!).
