What’s a GDOL? A GDOL is a GIST Day of Learning, a free one-day event to help you, as patients and caregivers, learn more about GIST, find support, and enhance your knowledge base to help you navigate your cancer journey. At a GDOL you will learn more about your disease from expert clinicians, researchers, and advocates and connect with other patients, caregivers, and family members who are also on this rare journey. You are not alone.
The mission of the Life Raft Group is to enhance 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;
- Leverage the patient perspective to drive innovative solutions in cancer research
- Educate and empower patients to take a larger role in their care
- Accelerate research outcomes through collaborative efforts
- Increase access to effective treatments worldwide
