The Cure

About this book

When John and Aileen Crowley’s two children were diagnosed with a fatal muscular disorder, their perfect world crashed. So rare was Pompe disease that no drug company had yet produced a cure. Determined to find scientists who could develop an enzyme that would keep his children alive, John invested himself and his savings in a biotech start-up. The company went on to make medical and business history, but the struggle to save his children was far from over. Powerful, gripping and inspiring, The Cure is the story of a couple who wouldn’t take no for an answer.
