Every three days, an Australian is diagnosed with a Bone Marrow Failure Syndrome.
The aim of National Bone Marrow Failure Syndrome Awareness Week is to raise awareness of Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes and their impact on patients and families, increase an understanding of the work of Maddie’s Visit and the services offered, and to seek the Australian community’s support through both blood and stem cell donations, which patients rely on to stay alive.
National Bone Marrow Failure Syndrome Awareness Week is afiliated with Maddie Riewoldt’s Vision.
Old Treasury Building will be lit in purple for this event from sunrise to sunset.
