Introduction

      The Statement on Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on October 28, 2009 (as amended to the date hereof, the “Statement”) by the persons named therein is hereby amended and supplemented by this Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (the “Amendment”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Statement. This statement relates to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 18, 2009 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Brickell Bay Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Brickell Bay Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Merger Sub”), and Allion Healthcare, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the transactions contemplated thereby. The Merger Agreement contemplates that, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing after the merger as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of the Company’s common stock, $.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), will be converted into the right to receive $6.60 in cash, without interest.

     Parallex LLC (“Parallex”) is a stockholder of the Company that beneficially owns 7,903,488 shares, or approximately 27.5% of the outstanding Common Stock.
