Cookies and Cancer--What a Party!: The Story of Victory in the Valley, Inc.

Lois Thomi was planning a long-awaited vacation; yet, she instead found herself in a hospital room hearing the dreaded words, "You have cancer." While enduring the many difficulties of chemotherapy and radiation, Lois did not dwell in her sadness. She reached out to others who were facing the same challenging journey and began to offer hope and education about the cancer experience. From a small living room in their modest home-offering a few cookies, and hope-they grew to become a cancer support organization serving thousands of patients and families annually. Join her beloved daughter, Diana Thomi, on a journey as she recounts the details of Lois' cancer journey and how the doors opened for one of the most impactful non-profits in the State of Kansas, Victory in the Valley, to become a beacon of hope and encouragement.
