John and Aileen Crowley, and their children, John Jr., Megan, and Patrick, have been chasing miracles of modern disease. In 1998, Megan and Patrick were both diagnosed with Pompe, a rare and often fatal genetic disorder. Determined to find scientists who could develop a replacement enzyme that would keep his children alive, Crowley quit his job as a financial consultant and invested himself and his life savings in a biotech start-up, Novazyme Pharmaceuticals. Genzyme acquired Novazyme for $137.5 million, but the story doesn’t end there… Today, John is the President and CEO of Amicus Therapeutics and lives in Cranbury, NJ, with his family.
