We Swim For Sam!
Team MuvStrong, in association with the Southampton Fire Department, will be swimming for Sam Price in this Years “We Swim For You” event on Saturday, July 8 at Havens Beach in Sag Harbor, NY. Sam was a volunteer firefighter, an ambulance driver, a local plumber, and a good friend to the entire East End community.
Sam Price loved being in and on the water and was heavily involved in Southampton Water Rescue. He was always willing to lend a hand if you were in trouble but not without first making a joke at your expense. Sam recently lost a 2 and a half year battle with brain cancer at the young age of 25.
Join us to swim in Sam’s memory. Choose your distance – 2 mile, 1 mile or 1/2 mile options. Click here to signup to swim for Sam with MuvStrong! Team members will receive custom swim caps honoring Sam, with Sam’s Maltese cross and badge number.

How this project makes a difference
Fighting Chance helps support our local community of people – from those who are battling cancer, to those who have won their battles and to families that have lost loved ones to this terrible disease.
Through this event we will raise money for Fighting Chance, our community’s lead cancer advocacy and support center. We do so honoring Sam and his legacy.
Good people. Good business.
The MuvStrong Team Captains are Mike Delalio and Gordon Trotter.
Fighting Chance empowers hundreds of people a year by providing invaluable tools to cope with the many stresses that come with a cancer diagnosis such as emotional support, education, transportation, and wellness programs, free of charge.
