In some ways, Greg White is like any other sports-loving 16-year-old, except the sophomore at Larkin High School in Elgin is in need of a double lung transplant.
Diagnosed with cystic fibrosis just days after his birth, White is down to only 20 percent lung function.
“Within the last year his lung function began to fail,” his mother, Melissa White, said.
His family now faces thousands of dollars in medical bills and expenses as they prepared to temporarily relocate to St. Louis to be near St. Louis Children’s Hospital where White will receive his transplant when a set of lungs become available.
