Committed to Fighting Child Obesity
With their D’un océan à l’autre project, Simon Carrier and Patrick Lesage wanted to raise awareness among young Canadians of the importance of adopting healthy lifestyle habits in order to fight the phenomenon of child obesity. To do so, they cycled across Canada from one ocean to the other and returned by kayak, a trek that took almost 250 days.
