SUMMARY:New Horizons GIST Conference
DESCRIPTION:The New Horizons GIST conference will once again be held virtually\, due to the ongoing covid-19 pandemic\, and this year will welcome GIST advocates as well as patients & caregivers.\nNew Horizons GIST traditionally focuses on a large annual conference gathering over 50 representatives from 30 countries to discuss critical information about GIST that impacts the global GIST patient and medical communities. Participants have opportunities to interact with leading GIST experts\, learn new medical and scientific information about GIST\, exchange best practices and discuss advocacy issues. \nOn behalf of the NEW HORIZONS GIST Steering Committee\, the Life Raft Group is very pleased to invite you to the New Horizons GIST 2021 Conference from October 20-22\, 2021 via Zoom. \nThe theme is “Celebrating 20 Years of GIST Treatments.” Over the course of the three day conference\, we will travel along the 20-year treatment journey of GIST and look towards the future. Day one will be the Kickoff Celebration in which we discuss the birth of targeted medicine. Day Two will focus on current targeted therapies\, and Day Three will end with the future outlook and important research questions needing to be addressed by the global GIST community. Each day will have virtual sessions between 9:00 am to 12:00 pm Eastern Time. \nThis meeting will be a great opportunity to come together and reflect upon the past 20 years but also look towards the future as a global community. Each organization is welcome to register several representatives. \nIf you have any questions about this conference\, please email: srothschild@liferaftgroup.org \nREGISTERProposed Agenda: (updated 10.8.2021)\npdf here \nOctober 20 \n \nOctober 21 \n \nOctober 22 \n \nSee past New Horizon GIST conferences

SUMMARY:Virtual Caregiver Support Group
DESCRIPTION:Bi-Weekly Support Group for GIST Caregivers.\nHeld first & third Wednesdays of the month\nAs we continue to navigate this uncertain time together\, we want to offer you a little extra support. LRG has a twice monthly support group for the caregivers facilitated by Marlene Nei\, GIST Caregiver. To continue social distancing and connecting with caregivers across the United States\, we will use an electronic platform to gather as a group. We will talk about all the feelings you might be experiencing\, both in relation to GIST\, and COVID-19. \nWe will share our stories\, if you are comfortable\, and speak freely about the new fears and anxieties we might be feeling because of this unprecedented time. The group will be a safe space not only to feel supported by your fellow caregivers\, but also a place to share our own coping mechanisms to get us through this stressful time. All information shared will be kept confidential. Contact Diana Nieves at dnieves@liferaftgroup.org for more information. \n\nPlease email Diana Nieves at dnieves@liferaftgroup.org to join this meeting.\n\nAbout the Group Leader:\nMarlene Nei\, GIST Caregiver\nAs an active member of the Life Raft Group\, Marlene advocates for the needs of the caregiver community because she feels they are an underrepresented group. It is her mission to advocate for the entire GIST community making sure they are equipped with the appropriate resources on their GIST journey.
