Dear Quilter,

Thousands of Arizonans’ lives have been affected by the diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease, a progressive degenerative neurological disease for which there is no cure.  These lives are lived in pieces of “on” and “off” time determined by medications and treatments that help them control the symptoms but cannot stop the progression of the disease.

The Lives in Pieces Quilt is a project celebrating the lives of Parkinson’s patients and raising funds to help provide the medicines and treatments that enable them to maintain quality of life while hoping for a cure.

YOU can be part of this project supporting the Parkinson’s community by donating your  time and  talent   as a quilter. Quilters are needed to construct the squares that will make this permanent display quilt. To volunteer, ask your local quilt shop for a volunteer card, complete it and send it in to the Patchworks For Parkinson’s Project. Or volunteer online at the Patchworks For Parkinson’s website www.PatchworksforParkinsons.org /volunteer      

or through the AZAPDA – Patchworks For Parkinson’s  Project web pagewww.azapda.org       

Thanks for your support and help with this project,

    L inda, and thousands of People With Parkinson’s   (PWPs)
