Lori Ball is a cancer survivor and the founder and partner of Faith & Gratitude, a nonprofit organization providing empowerment and education to cancer patients and caregivers. She always felt an intrinsic desire to help people, but the path to that end always seemed a bit blurry. That is, until the autumn of 2015. Not a believer in coincidences, when she faced her own cancer diagnosis, she just knew ‘”this was it” – the turning point in her life.

Understanding the connection between the mind, body, and spirit – especially when faced with a health crisis-Lori made it her mission to bridge the gap between the traditional standard of cancer treatment and a more holistic approach.

Lori has worked in business for over 20 years and is now focused on growing her nonprofit where her vision sets the course for the organization.

Lori and her husband Dave live in Southwestern Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh. Together they have one child, a son, named Joshua.
