Carter White, a Navy veteran, was diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma in January 2024, just as he was preparing to become a Texas State Trooper. The cancer has spread to his thyroid and lungs, complicating his treatment. White has undergone surgery and is currently receiving care at UT Southwestern Medical Center, requiring his family to travel two hours for appointments. They are seeking to move closer to the facility for easier access. Community support has been strong, with a GoFundMe set up to help with medical expenses and relocation. White remains optimistic about his recovery and hopes to return to serving others in the future.
