 “LEAP Organizations Wish D.C. Citizens a Happy, Healthy New Year, & Show Support for New Mayor”LEAP, LLC, and LEAP Foundation DC start the New Year leading by example, by encouraging D.C. citizens to commit to fitness alongside the new Washington D.C. Mayor, Muriel Bowser.
Dr. Lawrence eclipses 7000 miles to begin 2015 running alongside DC Mayor Bowser Dr. Clayton Lawrence, a decorated, veteran, military physician, and a highly regarded fitness expert, stated, “Many of us will make New Year's resolutions to achieve better fitness and overall health. As an emergency medicine physician and fitness proponent, I recognize that the best way to encourage people is through leadership, and that leadership starts by setting an example. I want to encourage citizens who have committed themselves to better health in 2015.” Lawrence has already been actively leading by example, as he has run marathons for charitable causes on behalf of his company and foundation since 2011. 2000 miles were run in 2014 alone, and the 7000 running mile marker was heralded as Dr. Lawrence celebrated New Year's Day by participating in the Fresh Start 5K, alongside new D.C. Mayor, Muriel Bowser. Dr. Lawrence spoke regarding Mayor Bowser’s Inauguration, following their participation in the Fresh Start 5K, stating, “On behalf of the medical community, I congratulate Mayor Muriel Bowser. She has shown that she felt it was an important symbol to put fitness first by commencing her inaugural activities with a 5K run on New Year's Day. Such examples of leadership are vital to reinforce the importance of taking intentional steps towards more healthy and proactive lifestyles in our community, and myself, as well as LEAP, LLC, and LEAP Foundation DC, could not be more committed to supporting this new, fresh start for D.C.” Dr. Lawrence will continue to run for charities in 2015. His first marathon will be January 25th in Miami Beach, Florida. This marathon will benefit the Kids Run Miami charity. Kids Run Miami is a privately funded health initiative that provides middle school students throughout the Miami-Dade county area with a running program that gives these students an opportunity to run their first marathon, and ultimately, “promotes a fit and healthy lifestyle while teaching children to create and fulfill goals”.

It is an honor to have had the opportunity to share and exchange ideas with Mayor Bowser and I am confident that 2015 will be a year of truly positive change for D.C.” Learn more about Dr. Lawrence, LEAP, LLC, and LEAP Foundation D.C., by following twitter.com/ End
