The riveting true story of John and Aileen Crowley's race to
find a cure for Pompe disease that inspired the movie Extraordinary
Measures
With three beautiful children, a new house, and financial
security, John and Aileen Crowley were on top of the world--until
their two youngest children, fifteen-month-old Megan and
five-month-old Patrick, were diagnosed with Pompe disease and given
only months to live. Refusing to accept a death sentence, John quit
his financial consultant job and invested his life savings in a
biotechnology start-up to research the disease and find a cure.
Battling scientific setbacks, conflict of interest accusations, and
business troubles, John and Aileen would be tested to their limits
as they valiantly fought, and succeeded, in finding revolutionary
new treatment for the disease--offering hope to Megan, Patrick, and
the many children and families affected by Pompe disease around the
world.
The inspiration for the captivating film Extraordinary Measures,
starring Brendan Fraser and Harrison Ford, The Cure is a remarkable
true story of cutting-edge science, business acumen and daring, and
one family's indomitable spirit.
