BC Place glows red for Amyloidosis Awareness
March 5th, 2021
BC Place will glow red in support of the "Light the Night for Amyloidosis" awareness campaign on Friday, March 5th.
Amyloidosis is a term that represents several different types of diseases where an abnormal protein called amyloid is produced. These amyloid protein fibers can attach and deposit into organs, tissues, nerves and other places in the body. When that happens, normal function of the area can be affected. As the amyloid protein increases, health problems and organ damage may occur.
"Light the Night for Amyloidosis" is an annual awareness campaign created to draw attention to amyloidosis symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and finding a cure.
