About Ara Paraseghian Medical Research Fund
The Ara Parseghian Medical Research Fund (APMRF) at Notre Dame is a non-profit organization dedicated to finding a treatment or cure for Niemann-Pick Type C (NPC) disease—a genetic, cholesterol storage disorder that primarily strikes children with death occurring before or during adolescence. The Parseghian Fund supports NPC-focused medical research grants, which is the key to saving the lives of all those around the world afflicted with NPC disease.
