Myles Dininio is running nearly eight thousand kilometers across Canada to raise funds for CAMH, and when this conversation happened he was somewhere near Agawa Bay in northern Ontario, just past the halfway mark. He stopped running long enough to talk. Then he started again.

The idea has lived in Myles's head for twenty-two years, since he rode his mountain bike across the country at eighteen and decided the next big thing would be a run. What got him out the door in 2026 was simpler: the kids are old enough, his wife is working, and the clock was ticking. What he didn't expect was how much the road would give back. Strangers sharing their stories. His own grief rising to the surface with nowhere to hide. A playlist his kids made him that he describes as garbage, except for the part where every song belongs to someone he loves.

He started in St. John's at the same mile zero where Terry Fox began. He has a mason jar of Atlantic Ocean. He needs one more of the Pacific.

Topics: running across Canada, CAMH mental health fundraising, cross-country endurance run, grief and resilience, Canadian mental health awareness
