Naming the beams for Dana Farber patients

via boston.com

"It has become a beloved ritual at Dana-Farber: Every day, children who come to the clinic write their names on sheets of paper and tape them to the windows of the walkway for ironworkers to see. And, every day, the ironworkers paint the names onto I-beams and hoist them into place as they add floors to the new 14-story Yawkey Center for Cancer Care."

Amazing. Heart warming.

We work this concrete, iron and steel with our flesh and blood. With our hands we will meld this cold metal with our hopes and wishes. We work this dream together.
