Lawrence is a man with unmatched courage. He is just one amazing fellow and we are fortunate to call him a Palo Alto citizen. GO Lawrence! ==

this shows some humanity in someone from palo alto. too bad there are so many heartless individuals. go to your synagogue or church to find people who may actually display that they have heart

This is wonderful. I have loved Lawrence for years - so, how do we help him to raise money?

Thank you for telling your story Lawrence! Unmatched courage is right, you are an inspiration! The article didn't say anything about your wonderful sense of humor! Go Lawrence!!
