How loud is the sound of 3,000 Giggles?

PHILADELPHIA - April 24, 2013 - PRLog -- Philadelphia, PA- Sisters and co-creators of the TurkeyDogz brand, Shelley Schultz & Jill English, are passionate about giving giggles to children fighting life-threatening diseases. They are on a mission to give a copy of their giggle-packed book, TurkeyDog, to at least 3,000 children in hospitals throughout the United States.

An Indiegogo fundraising campaign called, 3,000 Giggles, has been set up to raise money for the wholesale printing of 3,000 TurkeyDog books.  There is ZERO PROFIT for the authors built into this fundraiser.   The rhyming short story is about a dog named Linc who embodies the sweet yet mischievous spirit of Schultz’s late nephew Cody “Lincoln” English who lost his brave battle to rhabdomyosarcoma in 2008.

Lincoln Von Wilde is a mischievous dude,
But at times his behavior's a little bit rude.
Linc finds big trouble on Thanksgiving Day,
When his family is busy and he wants to play.
Alone on his bed and feeling quite blue . . .
Now ask yourself this, what would a TurkeyDog do?

“We know first hand that giggles are worth more than gold to a kid who’s stuck in the hospital. Jill and I hope to get out and read to as many as possible. We also pray volunteers will step up and go read as well. If our campaign exceeds the funding goal by $6,000 then we will have a TurkeyDog character costume made so that hospital visits will be even more fun for the kids!” explains co-author Shelley Schultz.  

TurkeyDogz is a brand dedicated to the entertainment and education of children ages 4 to 10.  The website is full of rich content including free stories, anti-bullying material, educational worksheets, and games.
