Justen Mellor is the founder of United We March, an organization that supports our veterans and first responders through the popular annual Gunnison Gut Check every September.

Justen has gone from a life of alcoholism and depression to one of purpose and love.

After experiencing the Battan Memorial Death March, Justen knew he needed to bring a race to the small town of Gunnison.

The Gunnison Gut Check raises money for organizations that help our nation's heroes.

Justen is always focused on the one, the one person who will leave better than when they came to Gunnison.

Justen's story includes a little girl in a wheelchair who brought tears to the eyes of burly grown men, leaving an impression none will forget.

Finally, Justen's story is about love...love for veterans....love for first responders...love for Americans...love for his family, his faith, and ultimately love for himself.
