20 October 2023 marks the 6th International Mastocytosis and Mast Cell Diseases Awareness Day.
This year over 100 landmarks and venues across Australia will light up purple around Awareness Day to raise awareness of Mastocytosis and Mast Cell Diseases – a broad family of rare diseases that can be life threatening and are very often severely debilitating.
#SpotOurSpots is a campaign from The Australasian Mastocytosis Society (TAMS), which aims to increase awareness of mast cell disease and build hope for mast cell disease sufferers all over Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand.
Old Treasury Building will be lit in purple for this event from sunrise to sunset.
