GIST Awareness Day (GAD) serves as the yearly pinnacle of our education, awareness and advocacy efforts and provides those outside the GIST community a chance to learn about and lend their support to this important cause. This year marks the first GIST DO IT – Walk to Find a Cure, which was held in Miami at Life Fest 2018. GAD Events are held across the world each year on July 13th – if you are interested in organizing an event, please contact Laura Occhiuzzi at locchiuzzi@liferaftgroup.org or Diana Nieves at DNieves@liferaftgroup.org.
