Super Heroes Drop In and wash some windows at Children's hospital

Some popular super heroes traded in their special powers for window washing equipment and converged on Penn State Hershey Children's Hospital.

Their mission, brighten the day of some of the youngest patients.

One of those is C.J. Hoover who has been through so much in his first 17 months.

The young boy fought a fierce battle with leukemia in March, and knocked the cancer into remission.

But he's still back in the hospital almost every week for chemo and check-ups.

"We're not in this alone and it's good to know there are people around us that support us and provide care and even a small thing like a smile," said Clayton Hoover, C.J.'s dad.

On Monday, C.J. and other young patients were surprised to see super heroes scaling the size of the hospital.
