Join us for a fantastic day filled with informational exhibits, educational workshops, networking opportunities, dynamic speakers, raffles and much more!
This year's 2010 National Caregivers Conference keynote speaker is John Crowley. He will speak on his life changing decision to quit his job as a leading pharma exec and form a company dedicated to finding a cure for the life-threatening illness faced by two of his children. Mr. Crowley is involved with several charitable and community organizations, including serving on the Board of Directors of St. Peter's University Health Care System. Mr. Crowley's involvement with biotechnology stems from the 1998 diagnosis of two of his children with Pompe's disease a fatal neuromuscular disorder. Mr. Crowley and his family have been featured on the cover of The Wall Street Journal and on The Today Show, CNBC and The Paula Zahn Show on CNN.
In 2006, Geeta Anand, Pulitzer prize winning writer for The Wall Street Journal, authored a book on Mr. Crowley entitled "The Cure: How a Father Raised $100 Million-and Bucked the Medical Establishment-in a Quest to Save His Children." (www.thecurebook.com). His story was further chronicled on the big screen in the 2009 film "Extraordinary Measures" staring Harrison Ford, Brendan Fraser and Keri Russell.
