(* How's this? *)

(* Given data *)
runtotpergen = {1, 23, 136, 568, 1735, 4382, 9099, 16384, 25993, 
36694, 	  47752, 58044, 66761, 73534, 78429, 81753, 83750, 84873, 85482, 
85779,
   85937, 86025, 86069, 86081, 86087};

totpergen = {1, 22, 113, 432, 1167, 2647, 4717, 7285, 9609, 10701,
   11058, 10292, 8717, 6773, 4895, 3324, 1997, 1123, 609, 297, 158, 88,
   44, 12, 6};

ListPlot[totpergen];

(* Do the fit *)
<< Statistics`ContinuousDistributions`
soln = FindFit[totpergen,
     a*PDF[NormalDistribution[b, c], x], {a, {b, 12}, c}, x]
Plot[a*PDF[NormalDistribution[b, c], x] /. soln, {x, 0, 25}];

(* Check the fit error *)
