April 8, 2018 Cherise Whittier Alva

"Wore my wristband for the entire race and told my friend all about him on the run. His legacy inspired us!" Cherise wore her wristband for 70.3 miles!! Absolutely insane and TOTALLY OUTRAGEOUS! 
Cherise and her family were in Jaime's ward growing up in Blacksburg and were family friends. Cherise lost her brother Drew to cancer in his twenties. She knows loss and she has been so supportive and kind in helping us remember Sawyer.
