Meet Clara Hughes: athlete, Olympic medalist and mental health advocate.
Even today, Clara is the only person in the world to have won multiple medals at the Summer and Winter Olympic Games. But her greatest achievement is undoubtedly the work she has done to help others.
Clara, who grew up in Winnipeg, always loved sports. She wasn't always a top athlete. She was on a downhill slope until the fateful day she watched speed skater Gaétan Boucher on television compete in the 1988 Winter Games. Clara decided she would do the same thing.
This decision changed her life and led her to train, compete and win at the Olympic level in no less than two sports. But while the entire country applauded her exploits, Clara didn't feel good inside. She finally realized that winning all the medals in the world wouldn't make her get better: she would have to put as much effort into her mental health as she did into her training.
Young readers will learn about the exemplary life of Clara Hughes and how she learned not only to take care of herself, but also to encourage others to do the same.
