The Life Raft Group (LRG) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting patients and families affected by GIST (gastrointestinal stromal tumors) and other rare cancers. Their mission is to ensure that no one has to face this journey alone by providing lifesaving research, education, advocacy, and direct patient support.

For more than two decades, LRG has been a lifeline — connecting patients with cutting-edge treatments, helping them navigate complex healthcare decisions, and advocating for research that pushes new therapies forward. They empower people to live longer, fuller lives, even in the face of rare disease.

Right now, as federal cuts continue to impact the nonprofit space — especially cancer research — organizations like LRG are more critical than ever. They fill the gaps, amplify patient voices, and push forward progress that otherwise might stall.

I’m supporting LRG through Pledge the Edge because their work is personal and powerful. Every dollar raised fuels patient programs, research, and hope for families who often feel invisible in the fight against rare cancers. By backing my effort, you’re helping ensure that people battling GIST and related sarcomas have a community behind them — a life raft when they need it most.
