Girl, 6, who is losing her sight creates a 'visual bucket list' to fill her head with memories before she goes blind


Cailee Herrell (inset) from Phoenix, Arizona, was diagnosed with the rare disease Familial Exudative Vitreoretinopathy, a genetic condition which causes progressive vision loss. 


But before she loses her sight completely, her family want to fill her memory bank for the future. The heart-warming list included Cailee's first trip to the ocean (left) and fulfilling her dream of a magical holiday to Disneyland (right). 

To prepare her daughter for blindness, Ms Frost made sure she received early intervention which included cane skills and lessons in braille. Now her mother plans to take her to camps for visual impairments where she can go horseback riding, rock climbing and hiking.
