Melissa “Missy” Spence

Hi! I’m Missy, and I’m proud to represent Team Ontario in Tenpin Bowling! 🎳 I’ve been involved with Special Olympics for 12 years. I first got involved when I met a friend through SOO 10 Pin Bowling — and from there, everything grew.

Special Olympics has had a big impact on my life. It’s helped me meet new people, make new friends, and try new things. One of my proudest moments was winning a gold medal in Guelph and then again at Provincials — that felt amazing!

Being chosen to attend the 2026 National Games in Medicine Hat makes me really happy. I’m proud to be part of Team Ontario.

My advice? Have fun and try your best. Don’t cry — just give it your all!
