Number 1 item on a 19-year-old cancer patient’s bucket list is a trip to a topless bar called Jiggles

Priorities…

Jake Stoneking’s bucket list is very realistic, and top of it is a visit to a place called Jiggles.

Jake Stoneking is a 19-year-old guy from Oregon who has a form of brain cancer known as medulloblastoma. The cancer first appeared in 2009, and was successfully treated but another tumour was found in February, and the cancer is now all down his spine. Sadly for Jake, the diagnosis is terminal.

With anything from three months to a year to live, Jake drew up a bucket list of things he wanted to do before the cancer finally took his life. He kept it simple, including things like getting a tattoo, riding in a helicopter and a hunting trip. The list totals 17 items, but top of the list was a visit to a local topless bar called Jiggles.

We looked up Jiggles (it’s called research) and found out that it admits over 18s but doesn’t serve alcohol as the legal age is of course 21 in the US.

Bucket list

While his number one item is amusing, the news report from ABC on Jake is heartbreaking.
