The Alison Hunter Memorial Foundation (AHMF) works independently, in a spirit of support and cooperation, with all researchers, institutions and ME/CFS societies to advance scientific knowledge and medical care.

The Foundation is an enduring memorial to Alison Hunter and all those whose lives have been devastated by ME/CFS.

Alison died in 1996, aged 19, from complications arising from ME/CFS which included seizures, paralysis, gastrointestinal paresis and overwhelming infection resembling Behcets Disease. Such complications are rare and only present in a severe subgroup. Alison courageously fought ME/CFS for ten years and was an unstinting advocate for young people.

Alison was the founding president of ME Young Adults (MEYA), established in 1992 at Royal North Shore Hospital, Sydney.

The AHMF was established in 1998 through the initiative of the Public Interest Advocacy Centre and The Public Interest Law Clearing House as a project of the law firm Minter Ellison.

The Alison Hunter Memorial Foundation is a non-profit institution.

Donations are gratefully received. For more information go to www.ahmf.org
