Sharon Bruneau
Biography
Sharon, a French-Canadian M?tis, was born in the mining
city of Timmins, Ontario. She began her career as a fashion model, at
which she was successful until contracting a bad case of pneumonia,
which caused her to lose a lot of weight.
Soon after her recovery she began training with weights
to regain the weight she needed to get back to modeling. After achieving
a somewhat toned build, she was rejected at model agencies for being
oversized. She then decided to give up modeling and dedicate herself
to bodybuilding.
