Following Wednesday’s Keynote Luncheon, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger of California met with John Adams Jr., a Phenylketonuria (PKU) patient who was diagnosed with the disease as a newborn.
PKU is an inherited metabolic disorder that causes problems with brain development, leading to progressive mental retardation and seizures.
Adam’s father currently serves as the President & CEO of the Canadian PKU and Allied Disorders (CanPKU), a non-profit organization dedicated to help provide peer-to-peer family support, information sharing, research support, public education, and advocacy.
Mr. Adams also volunteers as Treasurer of the Canadian Organization of Rare Disorders and is Director of Business Development
for OZ Systems.
