We pride ourselves in running a very tight organization with the minimum amount of overhead. In fact, over 85% of dollars raised go directly to research. Your donation will be targeted toward scientists who are conducting leading edge medical research to find a treatment for Niemann-Pick Type C disease as quickly as possible. Results from this important work will also help other individuals with cholesterol-metabolism disorders including heart disease and stroke, as well as Alzheimer’s.
