From brazil: a tribute to claudine sherrill

It was learned only last week in Brazil that the “Mother of Adapted Physical Activity (APA),” Claudine Sherrill, died on May 8, 2020. As her colleague and friend, I wrote a tribute to Claudine. I wanted to familiarize my young Brazilian colleagues with her contributions to the field of APA in Brazil. I also wanted to touch upon her personality and how it left fond memories in the minds of many Brazilian colleagues. And I wanted to remind all of us -- who knew her personally and who knew of her -- about the woman that she was: kind, generous, creative, passionate, fearless, and fun.  Received on: 2021/06/04 Accepted: 2021/06/07
