LittleLauren.org - Raising Awareness and Funding Research of OMS

Most people have never heard of opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome (OMS). This extremely rare condition is a neurological autoimmune disease, which is estimated to affect only 1 in 10 million people. Most of the time, onset occurs in early childhood, but in rare cases teens and adults can develop the syndrome as well.

We became aware of it when one of our customers, Alicia, submitted an order for a flyer for a fundraiser she's organizing. Alicia's daughter, Lauren, was diagnosed with the disease in 2009, and is receiving ongoing treatment to fight OMS.

Please consider clicking over to LittleLauren.org to learn about OMS and how you can help, by spreading awareness and contributing whatever you can to research into this rare disease.

If you live near Ocala, Florida, consider attending the 1st Annual Mother-Son Dance to for OMS. All proceeds go to research for OMS at the Children's Hospital in Boston.

If you don't live in the area but are still able to contribute, please surf over to LittleLauren.org, or go directly to the Children's Hospital website to donate.

Thanks for considering supporting this cause, on behalf of us, Lauren and her family, and all people worldwide fighting OMS.
