Kathleen Mills has bowled her way from London, Ont. all the way to Calgary, Alta.
The 35-year-old five-pin bowler will be attending her first Special Olympics National Winter Games at the end of February.
"I'm excited to be in a place I've never been and [in] a big competition," said Mills. "I'll try my best and bring home medals for London.”
She qualified for the games with a first place finish at a tournament in May 2023.
"I usually hit like 500 for three games," said Mills. "That's typical, but sometimes I hit like a 600. It just depends on the week. My highest I've ever got in a single is 293.”
This is a special weekend for athletes like Kathleen and others across Canada. It's the annual promotion of the Tim Horton's Special Olympics donut.
They've been asking people to post photos with their unique treat, and use the hashtag #ChooseToInclude.
