Invisibly Lyme Montana

The Today Show was challenged the first day of the challenge (see below) and has received additional challenges along the way.  Additionally, Matt Lauer requested ideas for getting even with Ellen on March 5th (see below) and two of our organizers will be in NYC and attending the show on March 9th (yep, more below).

Short Term Need: Make sure they are seen on Monday, March 9 ~ GOAL MET! ~ See Sep. Page

Long Term Need: Make sure they notice (done/started) and respond to the challenge (Matt Lauer told Melissa Bell at the show on 3/9, see page)

In general, please like/share posts on the Today Show’s facebook page and tweet away.  Consider your own challenge to them directly, get creative, and keep plugging away.
