BOSTON – Members of the Northeastern men's ice hockey team joined Team IMPACT teammate Bennett Regan at the annual Great Strides Walk to Cure Cystic Fibrosis on Sunday afternoon at Wompatuck State Park in Hingham, Massachusetts.
 
The Huskies drafted Bennett and his brother, Jameson, to the team in January through its connection with Team IMPACT, which aims to improve the quality of life for children facing life-threatening and chronic illnesses through the power of team.
 
Bennett's Bunch is a group of people working to raise vital money for research and awareness for cystic fibrosis. Among the Huskies in attendance on Sunday were Zach Aston-Reese, Matt Benning, Dalen Hedges, Mike McMurtry, co-captain Adam Reid, Derick Roy, assistant captain Torin Snydeman, John Stevens, Mike Szmatula and head coach Jim Madigan.
 
Hosted by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Great Strides is the foundation's largest national fundraising event. Each year, more than 125,000 people participate in hundreds of walks across the country to raise funds for cystic fibrosis research and drug development.
 
Great Strides continues to gain momentum, as do research efforts and the progress made in the search for a cure. The CF Foundation has raised and invested hundreds of millions of dollars to support the development of new CF drugs and therapies.
 
Walks are held at nearly 600 locations nationwide and are open to the public. Great Strides provides a fantastic opportunity for family, friends, students, co-workers and colleagues to come together in support of a worthy cause.
 
The men's ice hockey team is one of several Northeastern squads that have joined forces with Team IMPACT. The baseball, men's basketball, men's soccer, women's basketball and women's ice hockey teams also participate in the program.
