Superheroes Visit CCMC Patients on National Superhero Day

Spiderman, suspended in the air, waved to onlooking children through the window.

But instead of a scene from a comic book or blockbuster film, that was just one sight at Connecticut Children's Medical Center on National Super Hero Day.

From Spiderman to Superman, it was a day of superheroes for the patients at the children's hospital in Hartford.

The medical center was decorated with life-size LEGO superhero models and children participated in mini LEGO activities, as well as a superhero-themed obstacle course. The Batmobile also made an appearance, along with a music video about the making of a superhero.

The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp's Central New England Hospital Outreach Program hosted cape decorating and button making and gave out superhero goodie bags. Dave & Buster's in Manchester teamed up with the Monaco Ford Batmobile to put together a Superhero obstacle course.

The superheroes were meant to honor how the children are their own superheroes as they battle various health issues.

The superhero-costumed guests greeted the children, their families and staff. This marks the second year the hospital has held the event.
