COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The parents who created a "visual bucket list" for their five-year-old daughter who's slowly going blind started by showing her wondrous sights close to their Ohio home. They never dreamed she'd get to see Rome someday.
Lizzy Myers and her family will travel to Italy next spring thanks to Turkish Airlines. The general manager was touched by the story of the little girl and her parents' wish to let her see lots of amazing things before a rare genetic condition robs her of her sight, or most of it.

The airline gave up round-trip tickets to any location in the world, and the family chose one of the most visual places they could think of.
"We all felt Lizzy would enjoy seeing the artwork, the statues and possibly seeing where my wife's family is from, which is south of Rome," Lizzy's dad, Steve Myers, said.

Lizzy was diagnosed with a rare illness called, Usher Syndrome Type II. This conditions to progressive vision and hearing loss. She have five to seven years to be able to see things especially at night. Recently she visited an observatory near their home and saw a production of "Mary Poppins" at a local theatre.
And now Rome is on the list.
"This was about helping a little girl who may never have the chance to see the world," said, Turkish Airlines' general manager Tuncay Eminoglu.

Steve Myers said he was uneasy and reluctant when people started coming forward and offering money and other things to the family after their story was first featured in a local newspaper last week. However, he said they couldn't pass up the chance to take Lizzy somewhere they couldn't have visited otherwise.
"We're just trying to cram as many things in her mind as possible," he said.

For little Lizzy who's still contemplating to either be a princess or a mermaid when she grows up, doesn't know what is beginning to happen to her sight, and her parents haven't tired to explain it to the happy girl.
