Sheryl is a university graduate with a BA. She is cerebral palsied, passionate about sport, animals & the bush. Her mother, Sandy, spent thirty years as a school principal & educator. UNBRIDLING arose from the journals that Sheryl and her mom penned as each of them experienced her own ‘unbridling’.
