Stephania Cash is proving that it's never too late to follow a dream. A registered nurse
and mother of adolescent twin daughters, she finally decided to pursue a longtime desire to
be a wrestler. In a sport where newcomers tend to be barely out of their teen years,
Stephania brings a much-needed degree of maturity and life experience to the game.
And we're proud to say that she will be making her PGWA debut very soon!

late to live the dream."

SC: I'd just like to thank all the followers and fans of wrestling, because if
it wasn't for the fans then our sport would be incredibly boring. The fans make it all worthwhile!!!
