The family of a nine-year-old with a terminal condition have been fundraising to tick items off a bucket list they created together.

Caitlin Passey, who lives in Cambridge, was diagnosed with Juvenile Batten Disease in October 2021.

The inherited disorder affects the nervous system. Her father likened the illness to "childhood dementia."

Items ticked off the list include a Disney World trip, being a mascot for the Lionesses and meeting Ed Sheeran.

The family was flown out to Munich to meet the Suffolk-raised superstar in 2022.
