The GLRF wishes to help alleviate chronic pain and fatigue that is so widely present in the community, yet largely ignored. There is thus a potentially large proportion of the population with a personal interest in supporting the endeavours of the foundation.  

Many chronic conditions with pain and fatigue are difficult to manage and very difficult to research. The foundation is interested in building a financial base so that it can support multidisciplinary research teams with novel approaches to investigating the causes of these chronic disorders and their potential treatments.

 The GLRF will venture to work with local community groups and sporting clubs to develop a sense of community responsibility and compassion to help others less fortunate in the community. Working together, these active groups in society can help raise funds and awareness for chronic illness and acquire the essence of good will initiated by Gideon Lang. The Foundation wishes to promote excellence in those that support the foundation by their chosen contribution, and seek excellence in those whose research the foundation will support.
