The Life Raft Group We support those w/ gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) and other rare diseases through research, education & advocacy.

We are a global patient advocacy organization committed to enhancing survival and quality of life for people living with GIST through patient-powered research, education and empowerment, and global advocacy efforts. The LRG vision is to champion patient-powered science and drastically increase long-term survivorship for all cancer patients. To accomplish this, we rely on four key pillars:

- Leveraging the patient perspective to drive innovative solutions in cancer research
- Educating and empowering patients to take a larger role in their care
- Accelerating research outcomes through collaborative efforts
- Increasing access to effective treatments worldwide
