It is necessary to be in time: an 8-year-old boy met his cherished desires before the threat of blindness

The eight-year Briton Fred Howe decided to fulfill all his cherished desires before his visual function disappeared. The boy was discovered a rare genetic disease in which he will gradually and inevitably have to go blind. It is not subject to treatment and correction. Blindness for Fred is a matter of time, and this will happen very soon.

After the doctors passed such a verdict, the child decided that now he needed to start living at a very fast pace in order to have time to see everything in this world that he would like to see..

The story of the kid got into the British media and deeply touched readers.

In just six months, he managed to climb the Eiffel Tower, personally met Mickey Mouse, managed to work a zookeeper and even a train driver. Surrounding familiar and complete strangers willingly respond and help the child to realize his dreams. So he managed to ride in a limousine with the mayor of the city in which he lives, learned to ski in the Alps.

Now the boy with great difficulty distinguishes light and darkness with one eye, while the second sees so far, but not farther than a meter. Doctors say that soon Fred will lose this too, and therefore, while there is still some time, the family decided to show the child the Harry Potter studio, Legoland.

Some wishes still remain unfulfilled. One of them - to get into the space center of Britain, will soon be executed. The British astronauts learned about the history of the child and promised to conduct an interesting excursion for him and even let the astronaut sit in this chair.

And recently they learned about Fred in the royal family, and, perhaps, the final wish of his list will soon be fulfilled - to personally meet Queen Elizabeth.
