Guest guest Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 I happened to catch this story on HBO. The TV was just playing in the background of other activity when this caught my attention. It is a very uplifting story of acceptance and a community that gets it. It appears that it will re air a few more times. Here is the schedule if you want to try and catch it. http://xrl.us/oynie Real sports w/ Gumbel episode 140 story #2 Teamwork For Lawson of Norwell, Mass., being a three-sport high school athlete or even just one of the guys has never seemed like a big deal. To his parents, it couldn't be a bigger one. Born with Down syndrome, Lawson originally seemed to have a slim chance at an ordinary childhood. But over the years, his family and school, along with a very special group of friends, have gone above and beyond to fully integrate him into the community. REAL SPORTS correspondent Deford visits Lawson, now graduated from high school, and tells his inspiring story. Hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
