Ed Sheeran Ticks Terminally Ill Girl’s Wish Off Her Bucket List

Channan Petrides, 22, was born with cystic fibrosis and recently removed herself from the organ transplant list so she could make the most of her remaining time. 

Originally she was told her life expectancy would be about 40 years but recently learnt that she was now in the late stages of illness and sadly has around 18 months to live.

Knowing this, she wrote herself a bucket list:

Initially as you can see, meeting Ed had some question marks next to it but now she can officially tick that off after meeting him at one of his Wembley gigs.

She said:

"He was so lovely and genuine, he had a great sense of humour and was really easy to get on with.

He signed my programme and we took some selfies together. He smelt amazing.

A few months ago, I was so unwell I was worried if I’d ever make it to Ed Sheeran’s gig, but I did and it was incredible and I also got to meet him backstage."

Can't wait for the show to begin 😎

"People struggle to believe how ill I am because I don’t look it.

But the truth is that I do only have a certain amount of time left to live.

My lungs rip so I cough up blood, and I’ve been on morphine since November for chronic chest pain.

We really need better understanding of cystic fibrosis and how to treat it."
