Canadian adventurer Laval St. Germain has climbed six of the seven highest mountains in the world and cycled across the Arctic. But his biggest test came when his 21-year-old son Richard, also an adventurer, died in a canoeing accident in 2014. Last year, Laval decided to row across the Atlantic in memory of Richard.
