You might recall a column from last week about McDonogh wrestler Ben Levin, who was planning to run in the Country Music Marathon in Nashville on behalf of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in honor of the mothers of teammate Albert Woody and assistant coach Joe Bakewell, both of whom are breast cancer survivors.

Levin reports that he completed the marathon in three hours and 40 minutes and without any injuries. The 3:40 is roughly the same time that he had in the Marine Corps Marathon last year on behalf of the Injured Marine Fund.

Levin says he has raised $12,000 to date for the Komen Foundation, which is about $8,000 short of his goal of $20,000. For more information on how to contribute, e-mail ez4u2xl@verizon.net.
