Introducing Greg Weber Lang, an 18 year old high
school senior from Naples, FL.
At the age of 3 Gregory was diagnosed with muscle
cancer and fought bravely for virtually a year of
chemotherapy. Due to the battle with muscle cancer,
Gregory, at the young age of 4 was to continue life as a
right leg amputee.
In the fall of 2005, Gregory’s junior year at Gulf Coast
High School, he was diagnosed with stage IV colon
cancer. After multiple surgeries and chemotherapy
Gregory was pronounced in remission in July 2006.
This was a positive time in Gregory’s life because he
returned to Gulf Coast High School and joined his fellow
seniors. Once he returned to school, his main focus
was graduation in May, 2007. In January, 2007 the
doctors discovered cancer in Gregory’s body again.
Gregory is now faced with a reality that no child is ever
prepared to handle. He has been told that his condition
is terminal and his life with us will not be as long as
desired. Gregory Weber Lang has been given 6 months
to live. Despite the difficulties and overwhelming
challenges that have plagued Gregory’s life, he has
proven to be an amazing individual with a remarkable
character.
Through every challenge, Gregory has retained a strong,
positive attitude with a bright, warm smile on his face.
He has never fallen victim to negativity and continues to
appreciate life! Such appreciation for life can only be
achieved by one who has experienced a life altering
strain. The Gregory Weber Lang Foundation Scholarship
intends to honor Gregory and all those who share his
courage, perseverance, and spirit.
