Hi there! I'm Lori Hanish, a Minneapolis native born in 1956. My background is a mix of Panamanian from my mom and Norwegian-American from my dad. Anoka, Minnesota, was where I grew up, along with my three siblings.

In November 1980, I tied the knot with Frederick Hanish, a proud Fargo, North Dakota, resident. Together, we've raised two wonderful children, our son Reagan and our daughter Ashlyn. When I'm not busy with family, you'll often find me on the tennis court, indulging in my passion for the game, or showering love on my canine companions!

Life threw me a curveball in September 2017 when I was diagnosed with high-risk multiple myeloma. Suddenly, my routine was shattered, and a new journey began—one of resilience, hope and FIGHT. Through it all, I've held onto the pillars of love, humor, faith, and endurance. My story is one of overcoming challenges and refusing to succumb to adversity. I want to share this journey, inspiring others to never give up, no matter what life throws their way. Because, as I always say, I am woman, hear me roar!
