Clara’s Big Rest

We’ve already admitted that the Sisterhood has a HUGE girl crush on Olympian Clara Hughes. And we’ve all been watching her ride across Canada to raise awareness for mental health. But today we’d like to thank her.

Thank you for 11,000 km of bike riding to show your commitment to fighting the stigma surrounding mental illness.

OK have to admit it was pretty cool to ride with @GGDavidJohnston into Arnprior on #ClarasBigRide pic.twitter.com/KSynVzWWFS

Thank you for 110 days away from your home to speak to other people in their homes, to talk about something that should never be a secret or hidden.

Thank you for meeting with 105 communities to discuss mental health issues, their effect on people’s lives, and what we can do to help.

 

Thank you for being awesome. For being strong. And for talking.

You’re a rock star, Clara Hughes. A bonafide rock star.
