Passionate horsewoman Jade worked as a groom for event riders, and taught disabled children to ride before being diagnosed with Type 1 Chiari Malformation, the Plymouth Herald reports.
The condition, which pushes the lower part of her brain into the spinal canal, also causes her arms to tremor, meaning she can no longer work, cook or even bathe alone.
Jade, from Saltash, Cornwall, has even been told that she could "die in her sleep" and she "stops breathing for a few minutes every night".
Her family said "at any minute her life could end".
Jade's family has set up a fundraising page to help her complete the list. They hope to raise £2,000.
It reads: "After realising Jade's life is so precious and that at any minute her life could end, we want to work on her bucket list. "Those who know Jade know she never asks for anything so we decided to instead.
"We would be grateful of any donations to help us to start ticking things off her list. Finally a massive thank you from all of us."

But Jade said that her "whole life has changed" since the diagnosis and she cannot do the thing she loves the most, which is riding horses.
She was forced to sell her own horse, who she described as her "whole world" and "best friend", due to her condition.
"Since this diagnosis my whole life has changed, there is so much I can’t do because of it.
"I can’t do what I love the most and ride horses, I can’t be left on my own, I can’t be trusted in the kitchen, I cant really do things that a normal 23-year-old should be able to do.
"Every day is a struggle and I have to put on that brave face and get on with my day," Jade said.

She added: "I lose feeling in my arms and legs, lose my vision at least 50 to 60 times a day, sometimes up to 100 times a day.
"I get tremors in both my arms, I collapse regularly and have seizures. Every single day my head feels like someone is squeezing it, every day all day."
Since the diagnosis she struggles to come to terms with her condition.
She continued: "I still don’t think that I’ve accepted that I have this condition. I think that’s because I don’t want to accept it.
"I don’t want to accept that my life is limited and eventually I will die, I’ve been told I could die in my sleep so to me I don’t want to accept that."
