DENVER- A popular cereal and grocery story are saluting breast cancer survivors in a unique way.

Starting Wednesday, Safeway stores across the country will carry a limited edition Cheerios cereal box that features school teacher Heather Blakely Voyles, who is from Cheyenne, Wyo.

Blakely was chosen as this year's winner of the "Honor Your Hero" contest presented by Cheerios and Safeway.

The limited edition box tells her story, showcasing her triumph over adversity.

Special guest Demaryius Thomas, a wide receiver for the Broncos, unveiled the Cheerios package with Blakely Voyles.

Thomas also shared his aunt's personal struggle with breast cancer and how the disease touches everyone in some way.
