Ovarian cancer has a new weapon, the healing powers of comedy love!

North Sydney , Australia . 07 Aug 2011 .


Meet Shelly Ryan, Comedian, Blogger/Writer, Ovarian cancer supporter and now, author of "Floor It! Road Trips Down The Humour Highway", the latest venture by this "funny lady"!

They say "laughter, is the best medicine" and for Shelly Ryan, this is all part of her bigger plan. Sharing her gift for laughter with the world, Shelly's upcoming publication takes its reader on the journey of a lifetime, offering the power of humour healing in just the right dosage! A book like no other, you'll need to be buckled-in tightly, for you are about to embark on a hilarious ride filled with silly twists and turns and deliberate quirks that will have even the most cynical reader, in stitches!

Shelly's a late bloomer making up for lost time. Don't let the mild-mannered, middle-aged mom persona fool you. Her mantra is "If you obey all the rules you miss all the fun" -- and this Atlanta writer and comedian never misses the fun! This statement is exactly what you'll find with her jokes; just go to any page on the internet where her fans are all in agreement. On a more personal note, as the Founder/Creator of the Feel Teal Club, my own connection with Shelly has allowed me the opportunity to share her other "love", the admiration she has for the late great, Gilda Radner, who sadly lost her battle with ovarian cancer back in 1989.

Since joining us in March 2010, we have shared the launching of our first worldwide awareness campaign and the creation of the Feel Teal Club Forum where we invite the public to participate further, interacting with other community members. It is here, that Shelly has set-up her own room, completely devoted to her many memories of Gilda, aptly titled, "Gilda Moments" with Shelly Ryan.

As we eagerly await the arrival of her new book, it is with much joy in our hearts and deep appreciation that we acknowledge all she has done for our cause...and for women, worldwide!

Michele Wendling (Shelly) Ryan was born in the kingdom of Minneapolis. After being enlightened by great literature (okay, storybook tales), she developed a vivid imagination. Being an only child this trait was useful, although her parents never determined how many imaginary siblings Shelly had. Children eventually have to decide what they want to be when they grow up. Not easy when your role models give conflicting messages. Could a happy medium exist between innocent fairy tale princess and buxom fashion model? Shelly thought this incongruity was funny! By high school Shelly realized a sense of humor was more than entertaining; it was therapeutic! This marching band nerd (who stayed home cleaning the fireplace waiting for Prince Charming to show up) spent her weekends laughing with Saturday Night Live, especially Gilda Radner.

PRESS RELEASE: Titan's Journey in Print

Feel Teal Club member/comedian, Shelly Ryan, hits the road again, this time in print! From her childhood ingenuity to the madcap road trips, her upcoming book encapsulates this incredible journey of one woman's passion to make the world laugh!

N.S.W (I-Newswire) August 7, 2011 - This month's ovarian cancer awareness campaign included the talents of various supporters, each with their own purpose and methods for raising the profile of ovarian cancer.

Since our original launching of the Feel Teal campaign, Shelly Ryan has played an integral role in pushing the awareness message across to the general public. Much of her own energy drawn from the late great comedic genius, Gilda Radner.

Shelly Ryan's love and honest enthusiasm for her craft is clearly visible through her jokes, just like second-nature. She is a great observer of life, perhaps part anthropologist of wit, with a knack for dissecting everyday life situations, and turning them into something humorous.

It's not surprising that her journey has brought her to this place, such creativity cannot be contained nor kept still! The Feel Teal Club is pleased to be a part of her travels as she takes with her, further awareness to every corner of the globe. We know there are many other writers putting their pens to work for similar causes, when used in the right manner, it's a mighty weapon to have on one's side.

For Shelly, this creation will do more than tell a tale, it will offer many “hope” for a better outcome (of ovarian cancer), aide in further education towards the disease while giving them the gift of laughter!

As a “Titan of Teal”, Shelly is proactive in lending her voice to the campaign, constantly seeking out charities to gain further insight and knowledge, a wonderful example for women everywhere!

With her book release-date soon to be announced, all eyes are on Shelly's Blogs and Websites where we eagerly await word of news of final print. Her personal contribution goes beyond the humour with a portion of proceeds from her book being donated to ovarian cancer organisations.
What happens next, is anyone's guess!
About Feel Teal Club:
The Feel Teal Club was especially designed for the general public & artists of every industry. Together, we continue to raise awareness to ovarian cancer, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year!

Worldwide, the colour TEAL was chosen to represent Ovarian cancer, though sadly, it is still yet to be widely recognised. Globally we know to “Think Pink” for Breast cancer and there’s a constant source of funding flowing as a result- For Ovarian cancer to achieve the same status, “Feel Teal” came into existence.

Our community-based website & forum, endeavors to serve all those who join, including FREE promotion & advertising resources for its artist members. FTC (Feel teal club) also offers everyone equal opportunity to share their "personal stories" & "experiences" with Cancer, while enjoying the benefits of a wonderful community spirit!

Your boarding pass on the Humor Highway

For August Shelly shares a photo from her new book, “Floor It! Road Trips Down the Humor Highway”. First it was Exploding Sprinkles, and this month MORE airline adventures await at: Flip Side to Music

Despite her dazzling smile, not only was Michele unable to convince Pilot Dave to let her help fly the big airplane, the crew also sensed her sarcasm and thus wouldn’t allow her to give the “How to Fasten Seatbelts 101” talk…

BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT: Join the road trip!

Fasten your seatbelts and get ready to "Floor It!" My book (by the same title), a portion of the proceeds of which will be donated to ovarian cancer organizations worldwide, is ready to back down the driveway and make a healing difference with the gift of humor.

This collection of columns includes a fun bonus: journal entry pages so readers can capture their own personal journeys from life's road trips!

This month's Feel Teal Magazine (FOLLOW THIS LINK) includes the entire announcement AND a sneak peek of the cool cover!

What excellent timing; today I sent the approved proposal to the printer, so I'm on schedule for an anticipated release date to coincide with September's Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month!

More details of Road Trips Down the Humor Highway to follow...

Love & laughs,
Shelly
