Levenson ’09 faced another daunting hurdle as she ran yesterday’s Boston Marathon: a restriction from eating crucial carbohydrates the night before the race, as part of her observance of Passover. Along with her fellow runners in the Harvard College Marathon Challenge (HCMC), Levenson—a self-proclaimed “casual athlete”—not only managed to finish the 26.2-mile course, but also raised money in the process for the Phillips Brooks House Association and Project HEALTH...
