Upon his return, Dr. Lawrence had the honor of being greeted by the United States Vice President Michael Pence, who, as a representative of the United States, was made aware of the successes of both LEAP LLC and its partner nonprofit organization, LEAP Foundation DC.

“It was a special honor to return from the Berlin marathon and be greeted by the Vice President of the United States,” Dr. Lawrence said. “It is thanks to the support and encouragement from the U.S. that we are able to continue our outreach in underserved areas, for the individuals who need it most. We appreciate that a national leader wished to commend both our success in Berlin, as well as other achievements we have recently celebrated.”
