This is going to an amazing movie. I'll be at the theatre with my box of tissues. This movie filmed here in Oregon, Portland. They filmed part of it at the hospital DS has been in

Hope the Crowley family gets a lot of exposure and money to help those with Pompe disease.


Watch Exclusive Featurette: 'Extraordinary Measures' - Idol Chatter

Extraordinary Measures is inspired by the true story of John Crowley, a man who defied conventional wisdom and great odds, and risked his family's future to pursue a cure for his children's life threatening disease.

From his working class roots, John Crowley (Fraser) has finally begun to taste success in corporate America. Supported by his beautiful wife Aileen (Russell) and their three children, John is on the fast track. But just as his career is taking off, Crowley walks away from it all when his two youngest children, Megan and Patrick, are diagnosed with a fatal disease. With Aileen by his side, harnessing all of his skill and determination, Crowley teams up with a brilliant, but unappreciated and unconventional scientist, Dr. Robert Stonehill (Ford). Together they form a bio-tech company focused on developing a life-saving drug. One driven to prove himself and his theories, the other by a chance to save his children, this unlikely alliance eventually develops into mutual respect as they battle the medical and business establishments in a fight against the system – and time.

But, at the last minute, when it appears that a solution has been found, the relationship between the two men faces a final test - the outcome of which will affect the fate of John's children

I saw this preview recently...looks like a great movie!  The storyline reminds me of Lorenzo's Oil (which was also a great movie)!
