A Long Island family, facing the prospect of the death of their 9-month-old daughter, has created a bucket list of sorts to maximize her brief life.

Quinn Linzer suffers from Neimann-Pick Disease Type A, which causes the brain and body to regress. The family learned of Quinn's disease when she was just 3 months old, with doctors saying she is not expected to live past her first birthday.

So her family created Quinn's List, which includes up to 50 experiences for the little Lynbrook, N.Y. resident to complete, reports Long Island's News 12.

Among them are a visit to FAO Schwarz, a trip to Disney, tea at New York's Plaza Hotel and time spent swimming with dolphins.

Fundraisers have been held, online and elsewhere, to help the family of five, including Quinn's two brothers, raise enough money to make some of the dreams come true.

Even as the family's doctor had encouraged the Linzers to take Quinn home and give her love, saying nothing more could be done for her, the family was inspired to give their daughter the fullest life possible. Mom Eileen Linzer shared photos of the family enjoying time together with Quinn on a blog she created, called Team Linzer.

As it says on Quinn's List, her family is on a "mission to give her as wonderFULL a life as we could possibly give her."
