Adyn Bucher, 10, gives a smile to her father Brian Bucher as Adyn's little sister Seneca, 4, tries to play with her during a women’s basketball game in the ConvocationCenter. Adyn is diagnosed with SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy) and was recently given a spot on the roster for the Ohio University women’s basketball team for the next two years.
Adyn proceeds to get on the 7:15 a.m. bus to go to school while her dad Brian and younger sister Seneca watch on. According to Brian Bucher, Adyn’s father, there are only two busses that are handicap accessible in Athens County. “It makes my mornings more manageable especially when I have to take care of Seneca.”
