A Montreal lawyer and ultramarathon runner is taking a break from his practice to head out on a 4,500-kilometre journey on foot to Mexico -- and it's all because of butterflies.

, that will take months to complete. He'll follow the migration path of the endangered monarch butterfly.

He'll kick off his trek at the Montreal Insectarium, averaging 50 kilometres a day over 90 days, crossing three countries as the butterflies begin their winter migration. Their habitats are threatened by deforestation, pesticides, and weather changes due to climate change.
