Last fall, Renee Scherck-Meyer conjured up the courage to do something on her bucket list when she tried out for the Milwaukee Bucks Grand Dancers, a squad of older adults who perform on the court during the team’s games at Fiserv Forum.
On an emotional high after being selected for the squad, she began rehearsals with her teammates in September in preparation for the upcoming season. After her doctor noticed that Scherck-Meyer’s breathing was heavier than normal, she ordered a set of scans that led to a devastating diagnosis.
