Child goes on 'bucket list' trip before he goes blind



CNN recently published an article about a child whose bucket list before going blind is to see the Boston Celtics play. 

Louis "Louie" Corbett, 12, of Auckland, New Zealand, is rapidly losing his eyesight due to a rare genetic disorder - retinitis pigmentosa. His parents wanted to give their youngest of five children an international sightseeing tour before he loses the ability to see the world around him. 

His bucket list included places like the Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls, the Empire State Building and the Google headquarters in California. Last but not the least on his list was to take in a Boston Celtics game.
