Brooke Eby - Battling ALS with Courage and Compassion
At the age of 29, Brooke received the life-altering diagnosis of ALS, a moment that initially filled her with fear and immobilized her. However, a pivotal change occurred when she stood as a bridesmaid at a friend's wedding, walker in hand. It ignited a newfound determination within her, and she began using platforms like TikTok and Instagram to raise awareness about ALS. Understanding the relentless speed at which this disease claims lives, Brooke, with unwavering positivity, chose to use her voice while she still had it, sharing her story and experiences with others enduring similar challenges. She even compiled a note full of humorous anecdotes from her diagnosis journey. Over time, social media allowed her to connect with a broader audience, boosting her confidence in discussing this terminal illness. Now, she embraces life to the fullest, partaking in ALS charity walks with her friends and actively participating in fundraising efforts to support the cause.
