Opsoclonus Myoclonus Syndrome (OMS)
is a rare neurological disorder of unknown causes which appears to be the result of a dysfunction of the autoimmune system involving the nervous system and causing injury to the brain.  Shannon Bain, a Hillsborough Resident, and member of our Stablemates Group has been living with OMS for 14 years now and there are others in our community that have been diagnosed.  There is no known cause or cure. 

We are raising money for Children's of Boston, OMS Clinic, one of the few hospitals in the world servicing children with chronic OMS.

You can find the flyer, class list, and registration form on Facebook

There is a pre-registration fee, and on-location registration fee. All of the money raised will be going to the fundraiser to help benefit OMS research.

Come and participate in a great Gymkhana or stop by and watch the show!  T-shirts available for purchase at the Gymkhana (limited quantity).

If you want to contribute but can't make the show, you can donate online today!
