I was watching the football game yesterday and saw the trailer for the upcoming movie about John Crowley, a bio tech millionaire and his family which is scheduled to come out on January 22. Here is a little bit about Crowley's story:

He is best-known as the founder of several biotech companies devoted to curing genetic diseases. After his two youngest children were diagnosed with Pompe Disease, Crowley became the CEO of Oklahoma City-based Novazyme, a biotechnology start-up that was conducting research on a new experimental treatment for the disease.

Here is the trailer for the movie:

Here is the website for the movie. Brendan Fraser plays Crowley. Crowley's story is a very moving one and he is co-writing a book to coincide with the release of the movie, partnering with the co-author of Rudy Giuliani's #1 best selling book Leadership. There was talk during the 2008 Senate GOP musical chairs cavalcade of candidates that Crowley may himself run for the office. Looking back at our GOP Senate Primary cheat sheet we kept at the time, it looks like he was pretty close to actually running at the time. Then his name appeared again as a potential candidate for Governor before he bowed out. This movie will really get his name out there, should he choose to actually run in a future race as has been rumored.

HCR (0.00 / 0)

I wonder if Crowley has a position on HCR. It seems to me given his own situation he would have empathy with parents in a similar situation who don't have coverage, or the means and resources to find a treatment.
