The
Story of the Animal Health Foundation
The goal of the Animal
Health Foundation (AHF) is to find the cause and way to prevent
laminitis-founder complex in horses.
The foundation donates funds to major
researchers in the field of laminitis. AHF also offers information
to help horse owners prevent their horses from becoming victims of
the painful, crippling disease.
The all-volunteer, not-for-profit
organization, located in the St. Louis, Missouri area, has no paid
employees. Because the organization’s board of directors personally
pays all administrative costs, all other donations received from the
public go directly to fund work on laminitis.
The foundation feels it is
very important for the public to recognize that contributors are
truly making a difference by helping to directly fund the important
work currently taking place in laminitis research today.
Previous
recipients of grants from the Animal Health Foundation include:
Dr. Chris
Pollitt, U. of Queensland, Australia ,
Dr. Phil Johnson, U. of MO,
Kathryn Watts, BS, Rocky
Mountain Research, Center, CO,
Dr. Samantha Brooks, Cornell University,
Dr. Steve Adair, U.
of TN,
Dr. Tom
Goetz, U. of IL.
Dr. Harold Garner, U. of MO,
Dr. John Bertram, Cornell U.,
Dr. Eleanor Green, U. of
MO.
The Animal
Health Foundation needs contributions today to fund the fight
against one of the most painful equine diseases. It claims the lives
of thousands of horses and ponies, and does not discriminate by age,
sex or breed. Progress is steadily being made in understanding
laminitis-that is why it is so important to continue the work and to
try to make a difference.
