"She now can't see out of the sides of her eyes and recently she told us that everybody standing far away looks like 'fuzzy teddy bears.' Molly also has night blindness, so she can hardly see in low lights and she falls over quite a lot.''

The couple's other children, Charlotte, 5, and Samuel, 2, have coped well with their sister's illness: "Charlotte is brilliant with Molly on our walks to and from school. She warns Molly when there is a wheelie bin, a stick or lamp post in her way. It makes me very proud."

However, as the condition is hereditary, Charlotte and Samuel are tested every three to six months for signs of degenerating vision: ''There is still a chance that I could have three blind children and that terrifies me.''

Molly is determined to take in as much as possible before her eyes get ''too poorly.'' The six-year-old has compiled a bucket list of things to see, which the whole family have set out to complete: ''We just want to help her create as many magical memories as we possibly can.

"Molly has a list as long as her arm of things she wants to see. She wants to visit London, Australia and Egypt to see the pyramids. I know I won't be able to give her half of that but I can try."

After setting up a fundraising page, the family have raised over £13,000. A host of well-wishers have offered everything from words of support to a week at a cottage in Cornwall.
