Within 12 months Reece will lose his eyesight and his ability to walk.
A friend of the Mitchel family set up a crowdfunder to send Reece and his Mum Donna to Lapland for Christmas.
The idea is for Reece to enjoy the snow one last time.
Batten's Disease is a fatal condition that affects the nervous system.
Mum Donna said: 'There will be lots of tears but just now there is not going to be. We need to enjoy every moment we have. We don't want to waste it feeling sorry for ourselves.
'Reece has battled so much and he tries so very hard. We are not going to get upset right now. We can't afford to. We have wasted so much time already.
'We've been given this opportunity and we know that Reece is not going to live. We know that every moment is precious.
'We are going to make the most of it and we are not going to sit and cry in front of Reece.'
