Mike Schwartz ’88 with his wife, Lisa, and children, Carolyn (8) and Alex (5) stopped by Niagara Falls last summer.
I am very busy again chairing the 5th annual ‘One More Victory Ara’ Celebrity Golf Invitational in Cincinnati, Ohio on October 2 to benefit the Ara Parseghian Medical Research Foundation. Our 6-year-old son, Casey, was diagnosed with Niemann Pick C at the age of 2. He continues to do well although childhood or teenage death is the expectancy for these children. In our four years, the event has raised over $500,000 for the APMRF to fund medical research grants to find a cure or treatment for Casey and other children with NPC.
