A Leeds United fan diagnosed with terminal cancer has put a VIP trip to the Elland Road club on his bucket list.

Real Junk Food Project volunteer Darren Instone was told last month he has incurable cancer and only has between nine and 12-months left to live.

A bucket list appeal has been launched to give the 52-year-old the chance to fulfil his last wishes and have a positive focus.

Mr Instone, of College Grove, Wakefield, has so far listed a VIP matchday trip to Elland Road and a holiday in Las Vegas with a helicopter ride above the Grand Canyon.

He would also like to swim with dolphins and take a trip to the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.

Mr Instone - who needs daily care as he suffers from a number of complex medical conditions including cerebral palsy - has volunteered with the Real Junk Project for three years.
