My Bucket List

The concept of The Bucket List is based on the movie by the same name, the list is all about What would you like to do before you kick the bucket? I have combined that concept with One Month to Life, based on the book by the same name, it is about living your life as if you only have 30 days to live, how would you life and what would you do.
