Sam Levin's Marathon Run for Hurricane Ida Relief

My family has loved New Orleans since the moment we stepped on the Tulane Campus in 2011. A large ferris wheel and other carnival rides had been placed on the main quad. My littlest sister said to my oldest brother, "This is where you go to school?"

10 years later, with countless more visits to the University, to the Superdome to watch our beloved Philadelphia Eagles get trounced by the Saints, and to a plethora of restaurants/bars that fill our hearts & tummies, we love the city even more. Our dog is even named Nola.

On October 2nd, I'll be running my first official marathon in South Hamptons. I'd like to run it with the purpose of raising money to benefit United Way of Southeast Louisiana. Our contributions will go directly towards Hurricane Ida Relief. Thanks in advance for your contribution and your support.

More information about United Way of Southeast Louisiana: Since 1924, the United Way of Southeast Louisiana has been a key force in addressing the most heartfelt and necessary issues of the communities we serve. Through the commitment of volunteer leadership, our United Way has worked to raise both awareness of needs and the funds necessary to address those needs.

I look forward to the run and want to extend a sincere thank you to all who contribute in this fight to bring New Orleans back to full health.
