In Australia, the Roe family wore their ribbons with pride, TAMS Committee Member Sue wore and gave away ribbons – with her awareness-raising continuing this week as she makes presentations to two schools about nasty masties, and TAMS Co-Founder Claire organised her golf ladies to wear purple and ribbons (one golfing friend wore a giant ribbon as you can see).

Spain
The Spanish association of mastocytosis and mast cell disease celebrates the first international awareness day together with Souldrivers, a soul, gospel, folk… choir in a wonderful beneficial concert. A happy celebration in which people attending sing, clap… and dream in a brighter future that takes us close to better medicines. It was a good opportunity to provide visibility to our pathologies. + Purple lights in La Coruña (Spain) to commemorate our awareness day. + Sant Francesc Basketball Club Inca – Balearic Islands Spain.
