A few months ago, the story of
Edythe’s 105th birthday challenge began to surface all forms of
social media. Edythe’s challenge was not
only talked about on Facebook, but she was also featured on popular talk shows
such as Ellen and Jay Leno. “Edythe’s birthday challenge” is to get
105,000 likes on the Facebook page Direct
Relief. Edythe’s challenge is
nearing completion. She now has 97,970
likes and growing! If you have not had a
chance to watch any of her interviews, I encourage you to take a minute to do
so. Edythe is still full of spunk and
she also just updated her driver’s license! Take a few seconds out of your day to go over
and like Direct Relief on Facebook so
Edythe’s birthday wish can come true.
