Every day, GIST patients face uncertainty, and every day, hope carries them forward.
Through our Hope for the Holidays campaign, you’ll hear from GIST patients who once felt alone and afraid, but found connection and support through The Life Raft Group’s guidance, support and chat groups, resources, GIST Days of Learning, and our LRG Mentor Program. We’ll also be featuring several clinicians who know that the LRG’s role as an advocate is a significant force for their patient community.
As we share these stories throughout the season, today stands out for another reason. Dec 2 is Giving Tuesday, a day when people around the world come together to make a difference. When you give to The Life Raft Group, you’re not just donating. You’re helping GIST patients and caregivers find hope when they need it most.
For many in our community, hope begins with connection. It’s the moment a newly diagnosed patient finds someone who understands. It’s the breakthrough made possible by research your gift supports. It’s knowing that no one is alone in this fight. Your generosity fuels every part of that mission — research, education, and the compassionate support that carries patients through the hardest days.
This Giving Tuesday, you can turn compassion into impact. Your gift helps ensure that GIST patients have the strength, information, and community they need to keep fighting.
To understand why your support matters, listen to Chris share what keeps him hopeful this holiday season:
