On this episode of the Athletics
Ontario Running Podcast, we sit down with Burlington firefighter,
mental health advocate, and runner Ryan Gallagher. Ryan shares the
deeply personal story behind his mission to run 21 half-marathons
in 21 days to raise funds for Pathstone Mental Health in September
2025. He opens up about how he's navigated his own mental health
and sobriety journeys following the loss of his father and a decade
of firefighting, and how he found healing through therapy and
running. Join us as Ryan inspires listeners to prioritize their
mental health and seek the help they need.
