The Life Raft Group

The Life Raft Group (LRG) is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization providing support, through information, education, and innovative research to patients with a rare cancer called GIST (Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor). Since we received our non-profit status in June 2002, we have expanded our outreach efforts to many thousands of patients and their doctors. Local chapters have formed in a growing number of cities throughout the world.

Membership to the LRG is free, as is access to our newsletter, webcasts and our other office-based assistance programs. Membership is also limited to patients with GIST and their caregivers.

Applications for membership can be found on our website, www.liferaftgroup.org or obtained by contacting our office by phone, 973.837.9092 or email, liferaft@liferaftgroup.org
