Kathy has been a member of Special Olympics Sydney Northern for a period of 18 years. She regularly competes and trains in several Special Olympics sports however Bocce is her number one sport.

Kathy last represented NSW in Bocce in 2007 at the Special Olympic X National Games on the Gold Coast where she finished in fourth place.

Her selection in the Special Olympics XI National Games in Adelaide has motivated Kathy to hone her Bocce skills in preparation for the competition in singles, pairs and teams and to hopefully bring home a medal. Kathy plays Bocce with precision using concentration and self-control to outplay her opponents.
