This week, Chris sat down with the founders of 484 Hero, sister and brother team Cierra McCartney and Daniel Gardner. Chris and Jaimie have been friends with Cierra since 2005/2006 when Cierra and Jaimie worked together at the Everett (WA) YMCA. Cierra's husband, Daniel McCartney was finishing his enlistment in the US Navy and had dreams of becoming a police officer. Daniel realized his dream, serving as a police officer in Hoquiam, Washington, and Pierce County, Washington.  Daniel and Cierra had three sons, loved God, coffee, and CrossFit.  Then on January 8th, 2018, Daniel died in the line of duty, serving his community.  As part of their healing process, Cierra would take the boys to Daniel's gravesite.  Their tradition was to bring flowers and a white chocolate mocha, Daniel's weekend treat.  On the third anniversary of Daniel's End of Watch, Cierra wanted to change things up a bit.  She added money to a coffee card and told the baristas that all cops got free coffee, in memory of Dan.  Coffee with Dan began.  Now, through 484 Hero, Cierra and her family want to express their appreciation to police officers around the country, one cup of coffee at a time.
