Samantha Slaven, who has spina bifida, hopes to one day go to the Olympics after taking up the sport.
A Highland girl has set her sights on the Olympics after taking up wheelchair basketball.
Her spine has improved through ongoing treatment, but she still needs use of a wheelchair almost full time. Socialising with other children at school has also been challenging due to the level of care Samantha requires during class time. Samantha was offered a wheelchair basketball taster session after her mum got chatting with Inverness Lions basketball coach Bryan Stevens at a spina bifida event.
