Terminally Ill Nurse Gets Bucket List Wish

A Minnesota woman with terminal cancer who spent her professional career taking care of others as a nurse found herself in the passenger seat of a cop car after her bucket list wish caught the eye of the St. Paul Police Department.

Stephanie Anderson wasn’t in trouble, rather the officers were simply helping her check off an item on her list: go for a ride-along.

“It was a blast,” Anderson, who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer four years ago, told Fox 9. “I had a great time.”

It all started on Aug. 20, when Anderson shared her diagnosis and wish on Facebook.

“As most of you know, I have a terminal diagnosis of cancer and am working on my bucket list,” she wrote. “One of those things I want to do is a ride along with the police department. Anyone out there have any suggestions for going about accomplishing things, I would be very grateful for suggestions.”

Less than three hours later, Anderson wrote that she had already had several police officers reach out to her about the wish, setting forth the motion that would land her in St. Paul Police Officer Te Yang’s patrol car last week.
