Extraordinary Measures movie premiere
In May, 2010 the SMILE Foundation together with the Australian Pompe's Association held the Australian movie premiere of Extraordinary Measures. The movie is based on the inspiring true story of John Crowley, a man who risked everything in search of a cure for his children's life threatening condition, Pompe disease. The evening created much needed awareness for this degenerative disease and there wasn't a dry eye in the house.
