Several months ago the MemorialCare Todd Cancer Institute at Long Beach Memorial asked the community for 1,000 cranes. And instead, they got 10 times that. That’s right, 10,000 cranes were made in different shapes and sizes, some with well wishes, some with messages of hope, some just with a name written on it – maybe a survivor, maybe in memory of a loved one – but 10,000 none the less.
