Lungs for George campaign raises money for firefighter ; The group is helping George Carman, who has cystic fibrosis, collect money for a transplant
2005
Overview
[George Carman], a New Gloucester fireman who struggles with cystic fibrosis, has a long way to go to reach his goal of $300,000 to aid his efforts to obtain a lung transplant. But a group formed by his fellow firefighters, New Lungs for George, is steadily gaining steam. Carman and his wife, Amy, will leave Friday for Manhattan to meet with the transplant team at Columbia University Presbyterian Hospital. More than $300,000 will be needed, Carman said, to cover costs associated with the operation. A lifelong fan of all things related to firefighting, he trains with his crew despite a lung condition that often leaves him short of breath. Cystic fibrosis often causes death at very young ages, but Carman has managed with his condition for nearly 40 years.
