Alison Hunter Memorial Foundation
The Alison Hunter Memorial Foundation (AHMF) was established in 1998 to with the mission "to reduce the impact in the community of the disease Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome." The non-profit charity merged in 2014 with the National Centre for Neuroimmunology and Emerging Diseases (N.C.N.E.D.) at Griffith University, Queensland, and thus no longer operates as an independent no-profit charity. Its name honors Alison Hunter, a teen who died following complications from a severe case of myalgic encephalomyelitis(ME).[1]
