MET Crusaders Founders
John Hallick was a serial business entrepreneur, community volunteer and philanthropist. He was diagnosed with the MET Exon 14 Skipping alteration. While looking for ways to help others with the MET alteration and promote new treatments, several people suggested starting a MET Oncogenic Group. The rest is history. John passed away on March 4, 2023. We will never forget him.
Laura Greco, a mother of two young boys, had no reason to think she was at risk when she was diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer in 2015. Laura was a founding figure of Met Crusaders and several other lung cancer groups. As a lawyer, she understood the power of numbers and the value of taking your fight right to the seat of power. If she could not beat this disease, she would improve the landscape for those who came after. Laura Greco died in July 2024, aged only 49. That the fight could be won, someday, she never doubted.
