Summary

Chris and Alicia Vargo's journeys before their paths converged in Flagstaff were filled with pain and heart break. For Chris, it was a past riddled with addiction and health complications. And for Alicia (formerly Craig/Shay) - an ideal marriage and optimism for the future took a turn one fateful morning at the 2007 Olympic Marathon Trials when her husband at the time, Ryan Shay collapsed and died early in the race. Hear their tales from the past and how they found love and happiness in the wake of tragedy and loss.
