The city of Vigo will illuminate the Aragón fountains in purple to commemorate International Mastocytosis Day. This initiative, taking place on 20 October, aims to raise awareness of a group of rare diseases characterised by the abnormal accumulation of mast cells.
Mast cells are a type of immune cell involved in allergic reactions, affecting various tissues and organs, including the skin, bone marrow, bones, and digestive tract. The event seeks to highlight the challenges faced by those living with mastocytosis and similar conditions.
