International Mastocytosis and Mast Cell Diseases Day.

Today is the seventh International Mastocytosis & Mast Cell Diseases Awareness Day.

Old Treasury Building is proud to support The Australasian Mastocytosis Society (TAMS) as part of its annual #SpotOurSpots campaign.

Landmarks and venues across Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand are lighting up tonight to raise awareness of Mast Cell Activation Disorders (MCADs), including mastocytosis and mast cell activation syndrome. MCADs are complex, ranging from moderately disruptive to life-threatening, and are often severely debilitating.

The #SpotOurSpots campaign aims to raise awareness of the need for more accurate diagnostics, better treatments and further investments in research, as well as to build hope for all patients living with MCADs.
See the full list of landmarks so you can #SpotOurSpots in your local community.
