FindFit & NIntegrate

I want to use the FindFit function (or similar) to fit some
experimental data:

fit=FindFit[data,expr,pars,vars]

Usually this works very well, but in this particular case the model
expr consists of a NIntegrate over another function, like:

model[x_,a_,b_,c_]:=NIntegrate[function[x_,t_,a_,b_,c_],{t,0,inf}];
fit=FindFit[data,model[x,a,b,c],{a,b,c},x]

FindFit now complains about non-numerical values; of course that makes
sense.
How can I force FindFit to do the fitting anyway?
