"Cindy Parseghian came to me in 1994 saying, 'I will not let my children die without a fight.' She was determined to raise money to further NP-C research. I realized this was a natural fit--our research institution supporting a foundation whose goal was to find a treatment for a rare disease. It is such a noble and worthy cause." - Greg Pivirotto, University Medical Center (Tucson) President and CEO, Title Sponsor of the "One More Victory, Ara!" Celebrity Golf and Gala Weekend |
