Welcome to the page of the site dedicated to the Support Fund set up to help Lawrence through the difficult times he faces in the future. The fund was set up shortly after Lawrence's accident and is being administered by 3 trustees who have been appointed by Lol's family to look after the money raised by the many fundraising activities that have taken place since 14 April 2002. The events that have taken place are too numerous to mention but it is simply remarkable the way that the sport of speedway has come together to support Lol. This page will give details of the money raised for Lol and will ultimately give details of how the fund money is being spent to support Lol during his rehabilitation
Any donations to the fund can still be made e through Mike Western at 64 Sandringham Close, IPSWICH, Suffolk IP2 9DT, by paying direct to the account at any HSBC branch using account number 21643487, sort code 40-25-31 or through myself by e mail to chris.brown7@ntlworld.com.
