We’re Off And Running
As promised in my last post,I’m back to tell you about the contest! But, first let me give a big thanks to everyone who has been so supportive so far. We’re off to an amazing start! What looked like an impossible dream only a few weeks ago, is now a global, multi-platform event taking shape and gathering momentum with every new message to Japan, every new retweet, and every amazing person finding a way to help move this forward! Last week I did a guest post on Michael Q. Todd’s blog titled “How Social Media is Helping Japan”. This has now been tweeted and retweeted to millions, then Wednesday’s post on this very blog, out to millions more!
Messages From Around the World

Hundreds of messages from 32 countries and counting!
Ganbatte 365 tweets on the big screen in Tokyo
We’re running the tweets on over 300 screens in Tokyo that have a total reach of about 30 million people per week, and on March 2nd, we are taking a road trip up to the three hardest hit prefectures: Fukushima, Miyagi, Iwate. There we will be setting up screens for people to see the messages coming in from around the world.
