Alyssa Landry of Guilderland is making bluebird houses from scratch as a way to raise money to help her diabetic best friend, Sydney Steinhardt, who has suffered from Type 1 diabetes since she was eight. Her friend's team, Sydney?s Spinners, is in the June 1 Saratoga Tour de Cure. With the help of her uncle, who has a woodworking shop, Alyssa has spent the past few weekends making the first batch of 15 bird houses, which are being sold for $20 each. All profits will be donated to the American Diabetes Association. (Photo provided)
