Students and staff of Holy Cross and St. Benedict Catholic Secondary School dressed up as their favorite superhero and took a walk in support of Cystic Fibrosis Month on May 25.

The event, with the support of members from the local cystic fibrosis organization and the families of some of the students, raised $1000 through buy-outs.

Three students of St. Benedict are affected by the incurable genetic disease, which causes lung complications and is usually fatal.
