Louis Corbett, 12, trying to see as much as he can before he goes blind

A 12-year-old New Zealander's time is running out.

His time to clearly see the Grand Canyon along with other wonders of the world, including the Boston Celtics.

Louis Corbett, who suffers from retinitis pigmentosa, is quickly losing his vision.

Before that happens, friends and family have raised funds to send him to a number of North American destinations.

Its to stick Louis with visual memories and give him a database to draw on, Louis dad, Tim Corbett, told NESN.

First stop before the weekend? Bostons TD Garden to see the Celtics take on the Warriors.

Louis fell in love with the Celtics after watching YouTube videos of NBA great Larry Bird.

Eventually, the Celtics caught wind of his story.

I got to meet the players and now its courtside seats, Louis told the station. So, yeah, its quite huge.

After meeting their foreign fan, the Celtics were struck by how positive the young boy remains despite the prognosis.
