On the 18th of October 2019, DLD Awareness Day was celebrated all across the globe.

To help raise awareness in Perth, several RADLD Ambassadors (many of whom are also NEMLDC staff) arranged for a number of Perth landmarks to be lit up in purple and yellow, the international colours of DLD awareness.

The Trafalgar Bridge in East Perth lit up in purple to raise awareness of DLD. Thanks City of Perth for helping make this happen.

The Optus Stadium lit up in purple and yellow to raise awareness of DLD. Thank you Optus Stadium for your support of this important cause.

The Matagarup Bridge lit up in purple to raise awareness of DLD.
