Abstract

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.
