Yarning for a cure – Alzheimer’s disease
A Barrington native and self-proclaimed avid knitter, Donna Piastrelli likes to spend much of her time hand-crafting beautiful hats, scarves, and headbands to keep her loved ones warm in the winter. Now she’s using her talents to help win the fight against Alzheimer’s disease.
A Barrington native and self-proclaimed avid knitter, Donna Piastrelli likes to spend much of her time hand-crafting beautiful hats, scarves, and headbands to keep her loved ones warm in the winter.
Now she’s using her talents to help win the fight against Alzheimer’s disease. At the Lake Barrington Woods Senior Living Community where she resides, Donna organized a winter apparel sale where she was able to raise more than $1,200 for the Alzheimer’s Association’s efforts in Illinois.
Her generous and creative spirit has helped the Association fund vital care, support, research, awareness and advocacy programs to help all those affected by this devastating disease. The Alzheimer’s Association will continue accepting donations to Donna’s fundraising event through June 30, 2017.
