Professional Bowler surprises young fan in Raleigh

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- On Thursday night at Buffaloe Lanes North Family Bowling Center, Jason Belmonte, an Australian professional ten-pin bowler, surprised one of his biggest fans, Brady Armlin.

Armlin, who has Fragile X syndrome, became a fan of Belmonte after watching his YouTube channel.

From there Armlin started imitating Belmonte's famous two-hand bowl and studied his techniques.

Armlin wrote Belmonte a letter telling him how big of a fan he was and about his medals from the Special Olympics- he just won Gold last weekend.

Belmonte wrote back saying that he'd love to bowl a game with Armlin.

And on Thursday night he did that and more, sharing tips, signing autographs and making lifelong memories.
