Brooke Eby is a 34-year-old, who was diagnosed in 2022 at the age of 33 with the neurodegenerative disease ALS. It is a disease with no cure and an average survival time of two to five years.
In the time since Brooke’s ALS diagnosis, she has raised lots of money and a tremendous amount of awareness of the disease, through platforms including Instagram, TikTok, and even an appearance on the Today Show. As she’s been dealing with the remarkably challenging reality of ALS, she’s been modelling for us all what it can look like to respond to immense difficulty with courage, with hopefulness, and often, in her case, even with laughter.
Listen to this interview in which she reflects on her ALS journey, on striving to live in the present, on finding laughter and blessings even in illness, on how much we take for granted, and so much more.
