Basketball bucket list

Las Vegas resident Ashleigh Ahrens was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer three years ago. 

A dedicated Vegas Aces fan, Ashleigh recently attended a WNBA game with a homemade sign in the hope of meeting her favorite athlete: Kelsey Plum.

🏀 Meeting a hero... When Kelsey saw Ashleigh's sign after the game, she took to social media to search for the fan. 

Soon enough, Ashleigh and Kelsey connected and ticked another goal off the bucket list; the two were introduced on the court before the next game for an emotional meeting. 

• “It means… it means a lot…" Ashleigh shared. “I just became so much more appreciative every day. The little things didn’t bother me anymore and you hug your loved ones tighter."
