There's No Slowing Down This 99-Year-Old
In today's edition of the "Good Stuff," a 99-year-old woman is on a mission to sew 1,000 dresses for little girls in Africa by her birthday. CNN's Michaela Pereira reports.
Since 2011, Lillian Weber has been sewing a dress a day for“Little Dresses for Africa," a charity group that distributes them to orphanages and schools throughout Africa.
Since she started, Weber has made over 840 dresses.
She recently set a goal of sewing together dress number 1,000 by May 6, 2015 – her 100th birthday.
But she says she won't stop there.
"When I get to that 1,000, if I'm able to – I won't quit."
