A young woman who suffers from a condition that could kill her at any minute has written a heartbreaking bucket list.
Jade Davis, 23, of Saltash, Cornwall, was diagnosed with type 1 chiari malformation in March 2017, which causes her brain tissue to extend into her spinal cord.
As a result, Miss Davis loses her vision up to 100 times a day, suffers tremors in both arms and endures seizures.
Miss Davis, who mysteriously stops breathing for a few minutes every night, claims she has been told she could ‘die in her sleep’ any day.
Her family have set up a fundraising page to help her achieve as much as she can in the limited time she has left.
The horse-riding fanatic hopes to raise £2,000 so she can jump out of a plane, go to Disneyland Paris and meet X-Factor star James Arthur.

Speaking of her condition, Miss Davis said: ‘Since this diagnosis my whole life has changed, there is so much I can’t do because of it.
‘I can’t do what I love the most and ride horses, I can’t be left on my own, I can’t be trusted in the kitchen.
‘I cant really do things that a normal 23-year-old should be able to do.
‘Every day is a struggle, and I have to put on that brave face and get on with my day.’
Miss Davis is unable to work, cook or even bathe herself and relies on her family to look after her.
‘I lose feeling in my arms and legs, lose my vision at least 50-to-60 times a day, sometimes up to 100 times a day,’ she said.
‘I get tremors in both my arms, I collapse regularly and have seizures.
‘Every single day my head feels like someone is squeezing it, every day, all day.’

Miss Davis claims she was forced to sell her horse, which she described as her ‘whole world’ and ‘best friend’, due to her condition.
At the time of her diagnosis, Miss Davis was working at a riding school teaching disabled children how to ride and look after horses, which she then had to give up.
‘I still don’t think I’ve accepted I have this condition,’ she said.
‘I think that’s because I don’t want to accept it.
‘I don’t want to accept my life is limited and eventually I will die.
‘I’ve been told I could die in my sleep so to me I don’t want to accept that.’

Miss Davis’ family have set up fundraising page to help her accomplish her bucket list.
‘After realising Jade’s life is so precious and that at any minute her life could end, we want to work on her bucket list,’ it says.
‘Those who know Jade know she never asks for anything so we decided to instead.
‘We would be grateful of any donations to help us to start ticking things off her list. Finally a massive thank you from all of us.’
Top of Miss Davis’ list is to visit Thailand, but she also hopes to watch an Olympia horse show, meet the equestrian William Fox-Pitt and go to Winter Wonderland.
The horse-riding fanatic also wants to attend the races in Newbury, meet Love Island star Chris Hughes and spend a weekend in London.
