Arctic 2 Antarctic (A2A)
In June 2014, Henry LaCroix attempted a 20,000 km cycling expedition from the Arctic to the Antarctic, in honour of his sister-in-law Janet who was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease at age 56. Although his trip was cut short for medical reasons, Henry nonetheless raised over $12K for the Alzheimer Society.
