Maryellen Chussmirro was looking for a way to cope after losing both of her parents in a short amount of time. In order to clear her head, she started walking — but never expected to run half-marathons in all 50 states! By exercising her newfound passion for running, Maryellen has overcome many obstacles and decided to challenge herself by completing all 50 states again as well as races in all 7 continents!
