It is every parent's worst nightmare - a child taken from them in an accident.

The family of Asten Jones were left devastated by the loss of the "wonderful and funny" teenager after a car crash earlier this year.

Now, after discovering a bucket list of Asten's wishes on her laptop, they are aiming to check every item off the list by the end of the year in her honour.

She was just 18 when she died following a road accident on the A815 in Kilmun, Argyll, on May 21.

Asten, from Dunoon, was flown by air ambulance to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow, where she died shortly before midnight that Sunday.

Doctors decided to turn off her life support machine after realising the severity of her injuries, including injuries to her brain.

Her mother Cathy Muir said: "Doctors told me that even if she had survived her physical injuries, there was no way she could recover from her brain injuries."

A fundraiser set up on GoFundMe following Asten's death to pay for her funeral raised more than £9000 and was shared around 2400 times on social media.

Her family have now set up a new GoFundMe page to help fulfil Asten's dream to one day "do something for charity" - which is number 27 on her bucket list.

Cathy is preparing to do a sponsored tandem freefall parachute jump, with all the proceeds raised to go into a charity she is setting up in Asten's memory to help young people.

"We discovered the bucket list on Asten's computer when we were searching for photographs after her death," she explained.

"There are 42 items she wanted to achieve during 2017. We've decided that that we are going to complete the bucket list on her behalf.

"She wanted to do something for charity so I'm going to do the jump for charity. I also want to set up a small charity in Asten's name.

"It will allow people to apply for funding for books, uniforms, equipment which will enable them to go to sixth form, college or university to get qualified for their chosen trade."

The fundraiser has raised over half of its £2500 goal in six days and has been shared hundreds of times on social media.

No withdrawals of cash will be taken from the fundraising page until Cathy's charity is fully operational.

Cathy, who has five other children, is aiming to carry out her parachute jump in Asten's memory on August 22.

Eight members of the family are aiming to have a go at everything else on the teenager's wish list by the time 2017 draws to a close.

Other items on her list include rolling down a hill, taking underwater pictures, having a "massive water fight", finding the meaning of her name, buying a homeless person a meal, surprising a friend and naming a star.

Asten also wanted to "say yes more often", host a tea party, get a piercing and "go on a road trip with no destination".

"We are going to work through the list," said Cathy.

"We are not all going to do everything but we think we can do it by the end of the year."
