About AMMF

Alan died from cholangiocarcinoma, a rare form of liver cancer, at the end of the year 2000. In order to do something positive in his memory AMMF (The Alan Morement Memorial Fund) was set up and registered as a charity with the aim of raising funds for research into cancer, particularly into the causes, treatments and cures for cancers of the gastrointestinal tract and especially cholangiocarcinoma.

Being considered a rare cancer which affected relatively few people, very little research has been undertaken into cholangiocarcinoma. However over the last few years, an enormous and extremely worrying increase in the incidence of this cancer has been flagged and research into its causes (one of which is thought to be environmental toxins) is now beginning in earnest. This research is something AMMF aims to support.

There are well-publicised, large charities working to fund their own research into many different areas of cancer, but we were spurred on to form AMMF because we wanted to be able to support those research teams, usually small and highly specialised, working in specific areas (see Donations and Grants Made page for the teams AMMF has supported over the last year).

All of us involved with AMMF know that there are so many people today whose lives have been touched in one way or another by cancer and that the key to a cure is out there somewhere – our aim is to do what we can to support the people seeking the answers.
