Chief Chick Comments

Story of the Crowley family who have 3 children, 2 of whom have Pompe disease, a form of Muscular Dystrophy which will probably kill them before the age of 9. Brendan Fraser is the dad and Kari Russell the mom who takes care of these remarkable children. After a near death episode with Meghan, the eldest effected child, Fraser travels to Nebraska to meet with the only scientist, played by Harrison Ford, who seems to be close to a treatment but lacks funding. Eventually, he quits his executive level job with Bristol-Myers in Portland to work full time of raising the money necessary to save the life of children with Pompe-although whether or not it is in time for his children is up in the air. Based on a true story.
