A CROWDFUNDING campaign has began to fund a budding wheelchair football athlete.

Zoe Jane McLauchlan, 23, has tried her hand at skiing, go karting and swimming but she says her “true passion” is football.

Writing on her JustGiving.com fundraising page, she said: “I have cerebral palsy but that does not stop me living my life to the fullest.

“My true passion is football especially powerchair football I'm currently playing in a team called Glasgow Gladiators using my everyday powerchair, which is not built for this sport.”

So far, 49 people have donated more than £1100 towards Zoe's £5,500 target, and there's still 96 days left to raise the full figure.
